The Cloud of Unknowing - by Anonymous, ed. by William Johnston |
Originally written in Middle English by an unknown mystic of the fourteenth
century, this work represents the first expression in our own tongue of the
soul's quest for God. Widely regarded as a literary work of great beauty
in both style and message, it offers a practical guide to the path of
contemplation. In it, the author explains how all thoughts and concepts must
be buried beneath a "cloud of forgetting," while our love must rise toward
God in the "cloud of unknowing." Also included here is the author's
other principal work, The Book of Privy Counseling. |
