Late Have I Loved Thee

By Augustine of HippoSource: Augustine of Hippo - Confessions, Book X (Public Domain)54 words

Late have I loved Thee, O Beauty so ancient and so new; late have I loved Thee! For behold Thou wert within me, and I outside; and I sought Thee outside and in my unloveliness fell upon those lovely things that Thou hast made. Thou wert with me and I was not with Thee.
