THE MADNESS OF LOVE IS A BLESSED FATE

THE MADNESS OF LOVE IS A BLESSED FATEIn these uncertain times that can feel so desperate and divided, Hadewijch of Antwerp, the 13th Century poet and mystic has some salient words on the matter. The madness of love is a blessed fate, indeed! Love Susie. x


The Madness of Love


The madness of love

Is a blessed fate;

And if we understood this

We would seek no other:

It brings into unity

What was divided,

And this is the truth:

Bitterness it makes sweet,

It makes the stranger a neighbour,

And what was lowly it raises on high.


By Hadewijch of Antwerp
