Spiritual Quote of the Day (George Herbert, on God’s Love Shown on the Cross)

“Who knows not Love, let him assay
And taste that juice, which on the crosse a pike
Did set again abroach; then let him say
  If ever he did taste the like.
Love is that liquour sweet and most divine,
Which my God feels as bloud; but I, as wine.”—English poet and Anglican minister George Herbert (1593-1633), “The Agonie,” in The Works of George Herbert: Poetry, Prose and Proverbs
