Not holy am I, but holy art thou, O Lord

Speech

Speech is constante—or at least tends towards continuity. 

It is the outward expression of the spirit, therefore it is constant—

Like the expression on a man’s face, which is the outcome of his constant character. 

When a spirit is purified and becomes holy—

One—

United in himself—

He ceases not to cry day and night—

Holy, holy, holy.

Not holy am I, but holy art thou, O Lord, towards whom my being ever tends.
