Bonaventure, on Eccl 1:8
Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Eccl 1:8 · Douay-Rheims
“All things are hard: man cannot explain them by word. The eye is not filled with seeing, neither is the ear filled with hearing.”
On this verse:
“If moreover we consider the delight, we shall perceive the union of God and the soul. For every sense seeks its fitting sensible object with desire, finds it with joy, and returns to it without weariness, because the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear filled with hearing. In this manner also, the sense of our heart, whether it be the beautiful, the harmonious, the fragrant, the sweet, or the soothing, ought to seek with desire, find with joy, and return to without ceasing.”
