Quotes from "The Expulsion of the triumphant Beast"

Saul speaking to Sophia:
"oh Sophia, the Truth is the most sincere, the most divine of all things. Rather, Truth is the divinity and sincerity, the goodness and the beauty of things, who is neither driven away by violence, nor corrupted by antiquity, nor diminished by occultation, nor dispersed by communication. For sense does not comfound her, time does not wrinkle her, place does not hide her, night does not interrupt her, shadow does not envelope her. Rather, the more and more she is impugned, the more and more she is resuscitated and grows. without a defender and protector, she defends hersel; and yet she loves the company of few wise men. She hates the multitude, does not show herself before those who do not seek her for her own sake, and does not wish to be declared to those who do not humbly expose themselves to her, or to all those who frequently seek her; and therefore she dwells most high, whither all gaze, and few see."
