Today's poetry reading

Well, I just knew I wasn't the only one out there resonatin'. :)

The Love of God, Unutterable and Perfect
Dante Alighieri (1265? - 1321)
English version by Stephen Mitchell

The love of God, unutterable and perfect,
flows into a pure soul the way that light
rushes into a transparent object.

The more love that it finds, the more it gives
itself; so that, as we grow clear and open,
the more complete the joy of heaven is.

And the more souls who resonate together,
the greater the intensity of their love,
and, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other.
