Jacques Maritain Contemplation itself is a night wherein the soul forgoes the use of distinct ideas and all formulated knowledge, passes beyond and above the human mode of concepts to undergo divine things in the infused light of faith by means of love and all the effects God produces in the soul united to Him by love… like a ray of darkness for the intellect.
Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
