I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.

And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.

But meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres.
