The object of the mystic‘s final quest
and of his constant intuition
is an object of wild adoration
and supreme desire.
The withdrawal of the object of his joy,
the withdrawal of the beatific vision
is a great sorrow which the mystic suffers
in the period of the Dark Night.
Thus Dark Night entails always,
bitter sufferings far worse than
that endured in the purgtive way.
