St. John of the Cross: Glimpses of the Majesty of God

From stanza 11 of The Spiritual Canticle.

Moses, on Mount Sinai in the presence of God, saw such glimpses of the majesty and beauty of His hidden Divinity, that, unable to endure it, he prayed twice for the vision of His glory, saying: “Whereas You have said: I know you by name, and you have found grace in my sight. If, therefore, I have found grace in Your sight, show me Your face, that I may know You and may find grace before Your eyes”; that is, the grace which he longed for — to attain to the perfect love of the glory of God.
