Chapter 3

60. I have descended, O my darling, into the black shining waters, and I have plucked Thee forth as a black pearl of infinite preciousness.
    61. I have gone down, O my God, into the abyss of the all, and I have found Thee in the midst under the guise of No Thing.
    62. But as Thou art the Last, Thou art also the Next, and as the Next do I reveal Thee to the multitude.
    63. They that ever desired Thee shall obtain Thee, even at the End of their Desire.
    64. Glorious, glorious, glorious art Thou, O my lover supernal, O Self of myself.
    65. For I have found Thee alike in the Me and the Thee; there is no difference, O my beautiful, my desirable One! In the One and the Many have I found Thee; yea, I have found Thee.
