106 | 'Now, since love cannot avert its face | ||||||
|
|
|
|
 |
|
107 | from the welfare of its subject, | ||||||
|
|
|
|
 |
|
108 | all creatures are secure against self-hatred, | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
109 | 'and since no being can conceive itself | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
110 | as severed, self-existing, from its Author, | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
111 | each creature is cut off from hating Him. | ||||||

112 | 'It follows, if I'm right in these distinctions, | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
113 | that the evil that is loved must be a neighbor's. | ||||||
