“Then perhaps it will be [God’s] will to send out a ray of spiritual light, piercing this cloud of unknowing between you and him, and he will show you some of his secrets, of which man may not or cannot speak. Then you shall feel your affection all aflame with the fire of his love, far more than I know how to tell you or may or wish to at this time.”

- Chapter XXVI of The Cloud of Unknowing (14th century)
