Lead us up beyond light,
beyond knowing and unknowing,
to the topmost summit of truth,
where the mysteries lie hidden,
unchanging and absolute,
in the dazzling darkness
of the secret silence.
All light is outshined
by the intensity of their shade.
Our senses are flooded, our minds blinded
by such unseen beauty
beyond all beauty.
Dionysius the Areopagite (6th century) Syria
Translated by Ivan M. Granger
