The Ascent of Mount Carmel

Subida del Monte Carmelo

Retrato de san Juan de la Cruz (atribuido a Zurbarán)
byJohn of the Cross

A commentary, soon abandoning the poem, on the 'Dark Night' as an active night: what the soul can do to empty the senses of appetites (book I) and the intellect, memory and will through faith, hope and charity (books II–III). It contains the verses 'to come to enjoy everything', the critique of visions and revelations and the claim that in Christ God has said everything.
