[8] A Key to Wagner's Parsifal, by H. von Wolzogen, tr. by Ashton Ellis.
[9] Goodness is Active Love—love that moves. Drawing back from the finite creature, as a wave from the shore, it "suffers" sin's void to appear. But this lack of itself is allowed for the time, that so returning again in its force, to which evil is nothing, it may cover the desolate nature with deepness and highness and fulness unknown before. (See [lvii.]).
[REVELATIONS OF DIVINE LOVE]
CHAPTER I
"A Revelation of Love—in Sixteen Shewings"
This is a Revelation of Love that Jesus Christ, our endless bliss, made in Sixteen Shewings, or Revelations particular.
Of the which the First is of His precious crowning with thorns; and therewith was comprehended and specified the Trinity, with the Incarnation, and unity betwixt God and man's soul; with many fair shewings of endless wisdom and teachings of love: in which all the Shewings that follow be grounded and oned.[1]
The Second is the changing of colour of His fair face in token of His dearworthy[2] Passion.
