For Hannah

-

‘I finally sat down in a valley and transferred my winged thoughts from things corporeal to the immaterial, addressing myself as follows:—“What hast thou repeatedly experienced to-day in the ascent of this mountain, happens to thee, as to many, in the journey toward the blessed life. But this is not so readily perceived by men, since the motions of the body are obvious and external while those of the soul are invisible and hidden. Yes, the life which we call blessed is to be sought for on a high eminence, and strait is the way that leads to it.”’
