Bonaventure, on 1Cor 2:9

“But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.”

“The fourth face of wisdom is the most difficult, for it is without form. Thus would it seem to destroy the preceding faces, and yet it does not. The Apostle speaks of it: "Wisdom, however, we speak among those who are mature, yet not a wisdom of this world. But we speak the wisdom of God, mysterious, hidden, which eye has not seen nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man. But to us God has revealed it through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God." Paul taught this wisdom to Dionysius and Timothy and other perfect men, but he kept it hidden from others. It is up to us, then, to be perfect in order to reach it. "Forgetting what is behind, I strain forward to what is before," hoping that I may understand.”
