Chapter XXVII.—He Grieves that He
Was So Long Without God.
38. Too late did I love Thee, O Fairness, so
ancient, and yet so new! Too late did I love Thee! For behold, Thou
wert within, and I without, and there did I seek Thee; I, unlovely,
rushed heedlessly among the things of beauty Thou madest.873
| 873 See p. 74, note 1, above. | Thou wert
with me, but I was not with Thee. Those things kept me far from
Thee, which, unless they were in Thee, were not. Thou calledst, and
criedst aloud, and forcedst open my deafness. Thou didst gleam and
shine, and chase away my blindness. Thou didst exhale odours, and I
drew in my breath and do pant after Thee. I tasted, and do hunger
and thirst. Thou didst touch me, and I burned for Thy peace.
