Augustine Quotes

But What Do I Love When I Love My God? Not The Sweet Melody Of Harmony And Song; Not The Fragrance Of Flowers, Perfumes, And Spices; Not Manna Or Honey; Not Limbs Such As The Body Delights To Embrace. It Is Not These That I Love When I Love My God. And Yet, When I Love Him, It Is True That I Love A Light Of A Certain Kind, A Voice, A Perfume, A Food, An Embrace; But They Are Of The Kind That I Love In My Inner Self, When My Soul Is Bathed In Light That Is Not Bound By Space; When It Listens To Sound That Never Dies Away; When It Breathes Fragrance That Is Not Borne Away On The Wind; When It Tastes Food That Is Never Consumed By The Eating; When It Clings To An Embrace From Which It Is Not Severed By Fulfillment Of Desire. This Is What I Love When I Love My God.
