 22   2, 7      |      irrelevant things in order to say a single one that is to
 23   2, 7      |            with no idea of what to say or of how to begin. I fully
 24   2, 7      |           ourselves have to do and say very little about the work

 29   1, 1      |           they do there. I want to say very little to you about
 30   1, 2      |           into the castle still. I say they have a harder time
 31   1, 3      |        immediately, and thus, as I say, it suffers more than if
 32   1, 9      |            will of God. As I shall say later, you may be quite
 33   1, 11     |       periods at a time. So I will say no more about this now,
 34   1, 1      |            Mansions, what shall we say but "Blessed is the man
 35   1, 1      |            is no small blessing. I say "security", but that is
 36   1, 3      |          to be fulfilled: I cannot say this without tears and great
 37   1, 4      |            a broken wing and I can say nothing of any value. So
 38   1, 5      |       Jesus! How could anyone ever say that he has no desire for
 39   1, 5      |            one could do so. We all say we desire it; but if the
 40   2, 1      |               I think I might even say a great many -- and who,
 41   2, 11     |            as I shall then have to say something about the consolations
 42   1, 1      |            understand what I shall say about the Mansions still
 43   1, 4      |       process (and in everything I say you must understand this,
 44   1, 6      |        remembered a verse which we say at the end of the last psalm
 45   1, 12     |          but I do know that what I say is true. I suffer when my
 46   2, 1      |          even be that everything I say is confused; that, at least,
 47   2, 1      |         symptoms. About this I can say nothing, for I have not
 48   2, 1      |           comfort in it, for, as I say, it all leads to a desire
 49   2, 3      |    spiritual sweetness which, as I say, is produced by meditation.
 50   2, 4      |       within ourselves -- I cannot say where it arises or how.
 51   2, 5      |           we cannot fathom. When I say "amounts to nothing at all"
 52   2, 6      |           it experiences, we might say, is as if in those interior
 53   2, 10     |         humility and detachment (I say "true" because it must not
 54   3, 1      |      explain. First of all, I will say something (though not much,
 55   3, 3      |         about God at all. I cannot say where they entered it or
 56   3, 4      |        lead me to accept what they say. One person told me of a
 57   3, 4      |        that he says exactly what I say, although not in the same
 58   1, 1      |       would be better if I were to say nothing of the Mansions
 59   1, 2      |     farther than others; but, as I say, the majority manage to
 60   1, 2      |           are chosen.109 So I must say here that, though all of
 61   1, 3      |         last, in which we dream; I say "dream", because the soul
 62   1, 3      |           can move; as we commonly say of a person who has fallen
 63   1, 9      |                   But now you will say to me: How did the soul
 64   1, 9      |           that certainty, I should say that what he has experienced
 65   1, 10     |           of wine."125 It does not say that she went. It also says
 66   2, 1      |        union, I do not think I can say any thing further; but when
 67   2, 1      |          it. Some of these I shall say now, and I shall describe
 68   2, 6      |          we ourselves spin. When I say He will be our Mansion,
 69   2, 8      |        have come to it, I meant to say, for it knows quite well
 70   2, 10     |          is much more that I could say: anyone to whom God has
 71   2, 10     |   continual rest and joy, I should say that he had not reached
 72   3, 1      |          and then dies for ever. I say it leaves seed because for
 73   3, 3      |           many of us there are who say we do this and think we
 74   3, 10     |          put them into practice. I say the same of humility and
 75   4, 1      |        confused and I may possibly say a few things twice over.
 76   4, 2      |          allow. Afterwards we will say more about this little butterfly,
 77   4, 2      |        explain what I am trying to say than the Sacrament of Matrimony.
 78   4, 3      |        better, and that, as we may say, they shall meet together,147
 79   4, 3      |           to join hands (as people say) with Him; and the soul
 80   4, 4      |            been made -- that is to say, in the Mansion which we
 81   4, 4      |          no more than (as we might say) one single short meeting,149
 82   4, 6      |         companionship, as we might say, of angels, since, by the
 83   1, 3      |     abandon her and it is they who say the worst things of all
 84   1, 3      |             illustrating what they say by stories of some who ruined
 85   1, 4      |           there is so much I could say about that that I will not
 86   1, 4      |       believe the good things they say by comparison with the many
 87   1, 7      |           poor physical health, to say nothing of other great trials.
 88   1, 14     |           that she will be able to say what is the matter with
 89   1, 14     |          best medicine -- I do not say for removing the trouble,
 90   2, 2      |     delectably wounded, but cannot say how or by whom; but it is
 91   2, 3      |           seems a contradiction to say that the Beloved is making
 92   2, 4      |          can it wish for? I cannot say; I know that this distress

 94   3, 1(159) |       imprints what He is about to say in the depth of the spirit:
 95   3, 2      |           in my view, even if they say they see or hear or are
 96   3, 6      |           Thy messengers (for they say that, in this Mansion, at
 97   3, 7      |          does. None the less, as I say, the soul is distressed

101   4, 4      |   understand this secret? I cannot say, nor perhaps can any creature,
102   4, 6      |           helpful. "But," you will say to me, "if the soul is not
103   4, 6      |         forgotten. "But," you will say next, "if the soul retains
104   4, 8      |       never seen them, nor could I say what the things were made
105   4, 16     |            this way heard Our Lord say: "Be not afflicted, for
106   5, 8      |         this is happening I cannot say; I would not myself swear
107   5, 12     |         give courage too. You will say that this fear of the soul'
108   5, 12     |           is well rewarded; so too say I. May He Who can give so
109   6, 2      |            not hurt by what people say about her except when her
110   7, 1      |            know what I am about to say) will by now be so sure
111   7, 11     |            understanding. You will say, perhaps, that you do not
112   7, 11     |            Christ's arrest, let us say -- and go over this mystery
113   7, 12     |          not be right, however, to say that he cannot dwell upon
114   7, 15     |            an argument. He did not say this to His most sacred

116   8, 8      |        though no learned man would say such a thing if you have
117   9, 4      |           of exterior sight, I can say nothing about it, for the
118   9, 5      |                                  I say "terrible", because, though
119   9, 12     |           very learned man used to say that the devil is a skilful
120  10, 2      |        sacred Humanity; although I say that the soul "sees" Him,
121  10, 3      |            This palace, then, as I say, is God Himself. Now can
122  10, 6      |          should like to be able to say more about this matter,
123  10, 7      |           it is absolutely true to say that we have no good thing
124  10, 8      |           of His greatness. I need say no more; I have said these
125  11, 2      |           a blow, or, as one might say, wounds it with an arrow
126  11, 3      |             as I go on, that all I say falls short of the truth,
127  11, 8      |            hours at most, I should say); for, if the pain lasted

130   1, 7      |         learned person, she cannot say how this is, she feels within
131   1, 10     |                Sometimes she would say that it was doing nothing
132   2, 3      |            by which to enter it. I say there is no need of a door
133   2, 3      |   consolation. It is impossible to say more than that, as far as
134   2, 4      |      centre with its God. We might say that union is as if the
135   2, 5      |        This, I think, the soul may say here, for it is here that
136   2, 6      |        very forcibly. One can only say that this feeling is produced
137   2, 7      |         for His Majesty went on to say: "Not for them alone do
138   2, 8      |          the soul itself (for they say that the empyrean heaven,
139   2, 8      |           treat of this matter and say that the soul seems to be
140   2, 9      |  temptation of disbelieving what I say, for it is difficult to
141   3, 2      |           forgetfulness that, as I say, she seems no longer to
142   3, 9      |          easy for you to do what I say and make an act of love
143   3, 12     |            accompanied, that is to say, by the suspension of the
144   3, 12(241)|        parenthesis: "that is, as I say here, with respect to these
145   3, 14     |        must always live in fear. I say "true" peace, not because
