Late
Have I Loved You
Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever
ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside,
and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the
lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would
have not been at all. You called, you shouted, and you broke through my
deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness. You breathed
your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you. I have tasted
you, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for your
peace.
