Alexander Jacob

And deep desire is the deepest act, 
The most profound and centrall energie, 
The very selfnesse of the soul, which backt 
With piercing might, she breaks out, forth doth flie 
From dark contracting death, and doth descry 
Herself unto herself.
             Henry More, 'A Platonick Song of the Soul'
