"(...) she desires to rest in the sweet embraces of love, her heart and her senses seriously look for it and ardently desire it.
in this state, she is so powerful of mind, very resolute of heart and strong of body, so fast in working and busy inside and outside, that it seems to her as if all she is works and acts, even if she is so very calm on the outside.
in addition, she feels a strong sadness inside, a great tensed expectation regarding love, many shifts in desire, and varied misery of deep dissatisfaction. or she experiences the anguish of the soul by the great feeling of love itself, without any why whatsoever, or because she is extremely demanding in regard to the desire for love, or because she is dissatisfied about the absence of the pleasure of love.
in this, love –burning so strongly and so furiously in the heart– becomes so immoderate and breaks out in the soul in such a way, that it seems to her that her heart is repeatedly being painfully wounded, and that these wounds are being daily renewed and being made more painful by even more aching misery and new emotional woes. it seems to her as if her veins break open, her blood is being heated, her marrow atrophies, her legs weaken, her chest scorches, and her throat dries up, so that her face and all her limbs take part in the heat inside and participate in this primal rage of love. then she feels an arrow going through her heart towards her throat, and on to the brain, as if she would lose her senses.
and like a devouring fire drawing everything towards itself and consuming what it can destroy, thus she feels love ardently raging in her, without saving her and without measure, taking and consuming all. because of this she is being heavily hurt, her heart weakened very much and all her strength nullified".
