The Beloved becomes a mirror reflecting the secret face of the mystic lover while the lover purified of the opacity of his ego becomes in turn a mirror of the attributes and actions of the Beloved.
The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original.
According to Democritus truth lies at the bottom of a well the water of which serves as a mirror in which objects may be reflected. I have heard however that some philosophers in seeking for truth to pay homage to her have seen their own image and adored it instead.
But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
