“Thus this precious beloved of mine is taught and guided by me, without herself, for she is transformed into me, and such a perfect one, says Love, takes my nourishment.”

— Marguerite Porete, The Mirror of Simple Souls (Le Miroir des âmes simples et anéanties), trans. by Ellen Babinsky

THE LAMB

Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made you?

Gave thee life and bid thee feed,

By the stream & o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing, wooly, bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice!

Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee;

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee!

He is callèd by thy name,

For He calls Himself a Lamb:

He is meek & He is mild,

He became a little child:

I a child & thou a lamb,

We are callèd by His name.

Little Lamb, God bless thee.

Little Lamb, God bless thee.

— Songs of Innocence, William Blake
