Too late have i loved
You, O Beauty so ancient, O Beauty so new. Too late have i loved You! You
were within me but i was outside myself, and there i sought You! In my weakness
i ran after the beauty of the things You have made. You were with me, and i was
not with You. The things You have made kept me from You - the things which
would have no being unless they existed in You! You have called, You have cried,
and You have pierced my deafness. You have radiated forth, You have shined out
brightly, and You have dispelled my blindness. You have sent forth Your
fragrance, and i have breathed it in, and I long for You. i have tasted You,
and i hunger and thirst for You. You have touched me, and i ardently desire
Your peace.
