“What else are mirrors meant for then But so each knows himself from other men!’ Your mirrors show the husk and not the kernel; The soul-revealing mirror is eternal: This mirror for the soul is the saint’s face, The one who is beyond all time and space— ‘Heart, seek a mirror of this type!’ I’d scream, ‘Reach for the ocean, and not a mere stream!”
