„Immensity
is within ourselves. It is attached to a sort of expansion of being. The
presence of an obvious immensity can point the
way to intimate depth. When the dreamer really experiences the world immense, he sees himself liberated from his cares and thoughts, even from his dreams. He is no longer shut up in his weight, the prisoner of his own being."
„As I stood in contemplation of the garden of the wonders of
space, I had the feeling that I was looking into the ultimate depths, the most
secret regions of my own being: and I smiled, because it had never occured to
me that I could be so pure, so great, so fair!
My heart burst into singing with
the song of grace of the universe. All these constellations are yours, they
exist in you; outside your love they have no reality! How terrible the world
seems to those who do not know themselves!
When you felt so alone and abandoned
in the presence of the sea, imagine what solitude the waters must have felt in
the night, or the night’s own solitude in a universe without end!”
