To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. St. Bernard stated this holy paradox in a musical quatrain that will be instantly understood by every worshipping soul:
We taste Thee? O Thou Living Bread,
And long feast upon Thee still:
We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
And long feast upon Thee still:
We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
Peace
