DESCRIPTION

Originally written in Middle English by an unknown mystic of the 14th century, THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING represents the first expression in our own tongue of the soul's quest for God. A literary work of great beauty in both its style and its message, it offers a practical guide in the path of contemplation. The author explains how all thoughts and concepts must be buried beneath a "cloud of forgetting," while our love must rise toward God hidden in the "cloud of unknowing."
