St. Gregory of Nyssa on Apophatic Theology

This quote is amazing. It shows how the soul only recognizes God as "the only One he does not comprehend."
[The soul] rises afresh and in the spirit passes through the intelligible and hypercosmic world…; it passes through the assembly of celestial beings, looking to see if its Beloved is among them. In its quest it passes through the whole angelic world and when it does not find the One it seeks among the blessed ones it encounters, it says to itself: “Can any of these at least comprehend the One whom I love?” But they hold their tongues at this question, and by their silence make him realize that the One whom he seeks is inaccessible even to them. Then, having by the action of the Spirit passed through the whole of the hypercosmic city, having failed to recognize the One he desires among intelligible and incorporeal beings, and abandoning all that he finds, he recognizes the One he is seeking as the only One he does not comprehend.” [Gregory of Nyssa, In Cant. Or. VI; ed. W. Jaeger (Leiden: Brill, 1960), 6:182; PG 44:893a.]
