In a position of utter desolation,
when man cannot express himself in positive action,
when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way
-- an honorable way -- in such a position man can,
through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.
For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words,
The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory.
