William says: "But there is a question about whether there will be in that state of glory choruses, or ring dances, and gesticulations, and the words of the wise who have gone before us in the people of the Christians aggravate and make this question more difficult for they are found to have clearly written this. Nature itself and the experience of natural things seem to insinuate, in fact seem to testify to this. For in this state human beings do not sustain these modest joys which are present in it without motion of their bodies and of almost each of their members. For it is evident to you how from the joy that comes to be in your soul your mouth is moved, and by the motion that is called laughter your whole face is also changed." Coming Soon! |
