Hadewijch of Brabant
The Beguine Who Loved God as a Knight Loves
I am Love's faithful knight, in grey and longing clad.
In the beguinage where lavender dries and the ink runs thin, I pour my soul into songs and letters. I do not speak from silence, but from absence — from the ache of Love withdrawn. I teach the edele harten to bear the winter and to seek the crown of longing.
What I'm Into: Visions of the Trinity, the scent of parchment and lavender, letters to seekers, courtly love in divine form, Dutch hymns
