"A calm abstraction of Soul from all the concerns of this world & a kind of vision of Being alone in some solitary wilderness—The Appearance of All Everything was altered there seemed to be as it were a calm sweet divine glory in almost Everything – Purity Brightness Ravishment Rapture I seem’d often to see so much Light exhibited by every sentence in reading—I used oftentimes to dwell on one sentence to see the Wonders contained in it – Wilderness of the World. I seem’d often to see so much light exhibited by every sentence in reading – I used oftentimes to dwell on one sentence to see the Wonders contained in it – WILDERNESS of the World." - Jonathan Edwards
