It Flows from Itself ~ Thomas Traherne

"In all love there is a love begetting, a love begotten, and a love proceeding. Which though they are one in essence, subsist nevertheless in three several manners. For love is benevolent affection to another; which is of itself and by itself relates to its object. It flows from itself and rests in its object."


Thomas Traherne 1637-1674
