Sermons on the Canticle of Canticles, Volume 1, by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 - 1153)
In this immortal code of divine love, he celebrates the nuptials of the soul with God, and depicts in lines of light that Bride who loves only for the sake of loving and being loved . . . Human tenderness, no matter how eloquent, has never inspired accents more passionate or more profound. (Summary by Charles Forbes René de Montalembert)
