Companions of the Way (Morning)Knowledge puffeth up, but Love buildeth up.
I LOOKED at the truth, and I saw it lovely; but I did not purely and guilelessly enter in. I looked at God; I did not live, like a child, in the great safe heart of my Father. I beheld through some of His beautiful signs, as it were, my own face in a glass, and went away forgetting. I did not know that the letter alone, rich and glorious though it might be, should kill me; that the dear and intimate Spirit only should give me life. I reached after knowledge; I brought back treasures from afar; then I was like the laden camel at the gate of the City; he should sooner go through the Needle's Eye, than I should, that way, find the Kingdom and the peace everlasting.
