Charles Upton: Human love has fallen on hard times; it has been
"officially discredited." Even liberal humanitarianism is not what
it used to be; how then can romantic love, which in its origins is
essentially aristocratic (in Meister Eckhart's sense when he said
"the soul is an aristocrat") find any place in today's world? The
truth is, it cannot. The world is too small for it. The place of
romantic love is nowhere in this world; its place is in the human
soul, whose own proper place is in the eternal self-knowledge of
God. Jennifer Doane Upton: The love of God is always secret. For
most of us it is so secret that we are not even aware of it. All
manifestations that appear around this love are false in a sense,
and tend to mis-direct us. To look for the love of God itself
within manifest conditions is always to go astray. We spend our
time in the world being attracted to this and repulsed by that, and
all the while we are blind to this one secret love.
