I have
just
remembered
a
verse
which we
say
at the end of the last
psalm
at
Prime
. The last
words
of the
verse
are
Cum
dilatasti
cor
meum
.
83
To anyone who has much
experience
, this will
suffice
to
explain
the
difference
between the
two
; though, to anyone who has not, further
explanation
is
necessary
. The
spiritual
sweetness
which has been
described
does not
enlarge
the
heart
; as a
rule
, it seems to
oppress
it
somewhat
. The
soul
experiences
a
great
happiness
84
when it
realizes
what it is
doing
for
God
's
sake
; but it
sheds
a few
bitter
tears
which seem in some
way
to be the
result
of
passion
85
. I
know
little
about these
passions
of the
soul
; if I
knew
more, perhaps I could make the
thing
clear
, and
explain
what
proceeds
from
sensuality
and what from our own
nature
. But I am very
stupid
; I could
explain
this
state
if only I could
understand
my own
experience
of it.
Knowledge
and
learning
are a
great
help
in everything.
83
[
Psalm
cxviii
,
32
: "(I have
run
the
way
of thy
commandments
,) when thou
didst
enlarge
my
heart
".
A.V.
cxix
,
32
.]
84
[
contento
.]
85
The
remainder
of this
paragraph
was
scored
through in the
autograph
by
Gracián
and are
omitted
from the
Córdoba
copy
. They are, however,
quite
legible
.
