viii. 6. , [STAN. XII.] OF THE SOUL AND ITS BRIDEGROOM 93 the thirst resembles that of David when he cried out, ' As the hart longeth for the fountains of waters, so my soul longeth for Thee, O God. My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God ; when shall I come and appear before the face of God ? '* So oppressive is this thirst to the soul, that it counts it as nothing to break through the camp of the Philistines, like the valiant men of David, to fill its pitcher with ' water out of the... cisterns of Bethlehem, 'f which is Christ. The trials of this world, the rage of the devil, and the pains of hell are nothing to pass through, in order to plunge into this fathomless fountain of love.
12. To this we may apply those words in the Canticle : ' Love is strong as death, jealousy is hard as hell.' J It is incredible how vehement are the longings and sufferings of the soul when it sees itself on the point of tasting this good, and at the same time sees it withheld ; for the nearer the object desired, the greater the pangs of its denial : ' Before I eat,' saith Job, ' I sigh, and as it were overflowing waters so my roaring ' § and hunger for food.
