“I want to be you. I want to have no dreams that don't know you, and no desires that you will not or cannot fulfill. I want to perform no deed that does not praise you and tend no flower that does not adorn you.

I want to know nothing of the days that preceded you in my life or of the people who dwell in those days.”

“I've never seen you without wanting to pray to you. I've never heard you without wanting to place my faith in you. I've never longed for you without wanting to suffer for your sake. I've never desired you without wanting to be able to kneel before you.”
