Love

A spiritual writer of rare intensity and a poet of equally rare simplicity here provide us with one of the great prose meditations of our time. In language and imagery of great strength and beauty, Ernesto Cardenal sings of the irrefutable presence of the love that flow through all things. In the words of Thomas Merton, "This book is filled with invitations to drink and delight in the banquet of love... What we meet here is entirely traditional - it reminds us at times of St. Augustine or the mystics of 'Bridal Union' of the German Rhineland - and yet entirely modern bearing resemblance to the vision of Teilhard de Chardin."
