Examples
-
Almighty God — a manifestation of the unmanifested light — a mirror untarnished — most transparent — without flaw — pure — without spot — receiving, if I may so speak, the full beauty of the Good-stamped likeness of God — and without stain, shedding forth undefiledly in itself, so far as is possible, the goodness of the Silence, which dwells in innermost shrines.
Dionysius the Areopagite, Works (1897) Dionysius the Areopagite 1897
-
Wherefore also the Word of God arranged the feet of the holy Minds under their wings; for the wing displays the elevating quickness and the heavenly progress towards higher things, and the superiority to every grovelling thing by reason of the ascending, and the lightness of the wings denotes their being in no respect earthly, but undefiledly and lightly raised to the sublime; and the naked and unshod denotes the unfettered, agile, and unrestrained, and free from all external superfluity, and assimilation to the Divine simplicity, as far as attainable.
