Synopsis
Excerpt from Documents Illustrative of the History of the Church, Vol. 1
Love is a' great spirit and, like all spirits, he is intermediate between the divine and the mortal. And what, I said, is his power? He interprets, she replied, between gods and men, conveying to the gods the prayers and sacrifices of men, and to men the commands and replies of the gods he is the mediator who spans the chasm which divides them, and in him all is bound together, and through him the arts of the prophet and the priest, their sacrifices and mysteries and charms, and all prophecy and incantation, find their way. For God mingles not with man; but through Love all the inter course and speech of God with man, whether awake or asleep, is carried on. The wisdom which understands this is spiritual; all other wisdom, such as that of arts and handicrafts, is mean and vulgar. Now these Spirits or intermediate powers are many and diverse, and one of them is Love. -b. Jowett, The Dialogues of Plato,2 ii. 54.
