Augustine — Give Me Thyself, O My God

Give me thyself, O my God, give me thyself. Lo, I love thee; and if my love is too little, let me love thee more. I cannot measure my love so as to know how much more love I need in order to make my life run to thine embraces and not turn from them until it is hidden in the secret place of thy presence. This only I know, that woe is me apart from thee — not only in outward things, but in my inmost self — and that all plenty which is not my God is poverty to me.
