A description of the experience
Henri Amiel - Journal Intime
Moments divine, ecstatic hours; in which our thought flies from world to world, pierces the great enigma, breathes with a respiration broad, tranquil and deep as the respiration of an ocean, serene and limitless as the blue firmament …..instants of irresistible intuition in which one feels oneself great as the Universe, and calm as a god. . . . What hours, what memories! The vestiges they leave behind are enough to fill us with belief and enthusiasm, as if they were visits of the Holy Ghost
