| Quotation | Getting back read the Ignea Sagitta [The Fiery Arrow] again-in view of article on Carmelite ideal. It is clear to me that I have simply been fooling myself and looking for consolation and recreation in sensual and secular ways which is all very foolish. This document may be extreme, but it is passionately sincere and always moves me to compunction. |
