Eckhart: "Of God himself can no man think and therefore I will leave all that I can think upon, and choose to my love that thing that I cannot think. And why? Because He may well be loved, but not thought on. By love he may be gotten and holden but by thought never. . . ." Compare: "Go up towards that thick cloud of Unknowing with a sharp dart of longing love, and go not thence for anything that befall."
