Chapter XLI.—Having Conquered His
Triple Desire, He Arrives at Salvation.
66. And thus have I reflected upon the
wearinesses of my sins, in that threefold “lust,”969
| 969 See p. 153, note 7, above. | and have
invoked Thy right hand to my aid. For with a wounded heart have I
seen Thy brightness, and being beaten back I exclaimed, “Who can
attain unto it?” “I am cut off from before Thine eyes.”970
Thou art the
Truth, who presidest over all things, but I, through my
covetousness, wished not to lose Thee, but with Thee wished to
possess a lie; as no one wishes so to speak falsely as himself to
be ignorant of the truth. So then I lost Thee, because Thou
deignest not to be enjoyed with a lie.
