…out of the approximately 14,000 saints whose biographies figure in the first six months of the Bollandists’ writings, one finds only about sixty, that is 0.4 percent whose indices morales mention proven levitations, recorded and duly acknowledged only after being subjected to all the skeptical inquiries, depositions, and processes, clandestine investigations, cross-checkings, criticisms, judicial calls to order, and the famous animadversions of the Promoter of the Faith (The “Devil’s Advocate”), which continue throughout the ages and are ceaselessly revised.

You want to float in the air like an angel or lie in the grass rigid and enjoy the cataleptic trance. Stone and sky, they marry here. It is the perpetual dawn of man’s awakening.
Henry Miller, from The Colossus of Maroussi. (via athenafilia)
