Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) : "The Divine Comedy"
The glory of the One who moves all things
permeates the universe and glows
in one part more and in another less.
I was within the heaven that receives
more of His light; and I saw things that he
who from that height descends, forgets or can
not speak; for nearing its desired end,
our intellect sinks into an abyss
so deep that memory fails to follow it.
Nevertheless, as much as I, within
my mind, could treasure of the holy kingdom
shall now become the matter of my song.
From "The Divine Comedy"
Paradiso, Canto I
Everyman's Library

The poet is right ... if He is fire i must be wood.
