a marble piece; located in Rome. by Bernini.
currently my favorite work of art. the passage that goes along with it is too beautiful to NOT share. i dont really know what to do about discovering these two things. except travel to rome, maybe, and experience it for myself?? i could make it a life mission. read:
"With this he seemed to pierce my heart several times so that it penetrated to my entrails. When he drew it out, I thought he was drawing them out with it and he left me completely afire with a great love for God...so excessive was the sweetness caused me by this intense pain that one can never wish to lose it...It is not bodily pain, but spiritual, though the body has a share in it - indeed a great share."
Wow.
