Therefore the sight that is granted to your world penetrates within the Eternal Justice as the eye into the sea; for though from the shore it sees the bottom, in the open sea it does not, and yet the bottom is there but the depth conceals it.
The greatest gift God's generosity
Made in creating and the most conformed
To his own goodness — what he prizes most —
Is freedom of the will, and with this gift
The creatures with intelligence — they all
And they alone — have been and are endowed.
For in His will is our peace. It is the sea
To which all things existing flow, both those
His will creates and those that nature makes.
A great flame follows a little spark.
The glory of Him who moves everything penetrates through the universe, and is resplendent in one part more and in another less.
