Between the soul and her Maker, the author says, there hangs a cloud of unknowing that no thought can pierce; and beneath the soul there must lie a cloud of forgetting, in which every creature and every care is let go. Only a naked intent of the will, a blind stirring of love, passes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain, bracing, and free of sentiment, the book has schooled contemplatives for six hundred years, and it schools them still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sanctified Souls Press edition presents the complete work, unabridged, in the version Evelyn Underhill prepared in 1912.
