This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, and spine of the cover boards and the edges have some wear also. There is a small hole on the spine. The lettering on the spine is fading. The corners have some bumping. The previous owners name is written on the inside of the front cover board, and a note is written by the previous owner on the front end page. The pages are yellowed and tanning. The binding is loose, but the book is still intact.
"In studying the records of man's highest experiences two facts have to be kept in mind. First, that such experiences are incommunicable in themselves: they can be received by man since he is both with God and with things, but they cannot be communicated save in and through a translation which, however apt it be, is not the original itself. This fact is obvious enough in common experience: our attempts to convey to another, say, the glory of a summer's sunset, the magnificence of the sight of Alpine peaks, the exquisite delight of music heard, find us stammering and losing It ourselves in words the inadequacy of which we are only too painfully conscious. It is little wonder, then, that a purely spiritual experience, but incompletely understood by the recipient of it, should suffer a similar inhibition, as all those who have endeavoured to speak of such have known...." - Introduction from Saint John Of The Cross: 1542-1591 Doctor Of Divine Love An Introduction To His Philosophy, Theology, And Spirituality
