What happens to the drop of wine
That you pour into the sea?
Does it remain itself, unchanged?
It is as if it never existed.
So it is with the soul: Love drinks it in,
It is united with Truth,
Its old nature fades away,

Is founded on nichil,
Shaped nothingness, made one with the Lord. — Jacopone Da Todi
