Love beyond all telling,
Goodness beyond imagining,
Light of infinite intensity
Glows in my heart.

More quotes by Jacopone da Todi

Now, a new creature, I in Christ am born,
The old man stripped away; -- I am new-made;
And mounting in me, like the sun at morn,
Love breaks my heart, even as a broken blade:
Christ, First and Only Fair, from me hath shorn
My will, my wits, and all that in me stayed,
I in His arms am laid,
I cry and call --
O Thou my All,
O let me die of Love!

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
