Works of St. Anselm, tr. by Sidney Norton Deane, [1903], at sacred-texts.com
This love is as great as the supreme Spirit himself.
HOW great, then, is this love of the supreme Spirit, common as it is to Father and Son! But, if he loves himself as much as he remembers and conceives of himself; and, moreover, remembers and conceives of himself in as great a degree as that in which his essence exists, since otherwise it cannot exist; undoubtedly his love is as great as he himself is.
