In the face of the Cross, love is sobered
to its very marrow before God’s agape, which clothes itself in the language of
the body; and, in the face of this intoxicating language of flesh and blood
that gives itself by being poured out, love is lifted above itself and elevated
into the eternal, in order there, as creaturely eros, to be in the tent and dwelling-place of the divine love!
