| BkVII:8.IV.4 | Try to remember times when this has happened to you. You may not have had such ecstasy when contemplating art or music, but certainly you have had it, perhaps when you were recognizing love in a brother or sister, or at the birth of a child that filled you with tenderness and amazement at the miracle of life. Perhaps you were speechless with the magnificence of nature, or the moral nobility of someone whose spirit snatched your soul and left you wrapped in the desire to elevate yourself to that sacred place. |
