Not really, but close:

"Love is indeed “ecstasy”, not in the sense of a moment of intoxication, but rather as a journey, an ongoing exodus out of the closed inward-looking self towards its liberation through self-giving, and thus towards authentic self-discovery and indeed the discovery of God."

ENCYCLICAL LETTER
DEUS CARITAS EST
OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF
BENEDICT XVI

thanks a lot. I like John Donne veru much and I think that his works should be read now this time and the 16th (17th) century is really close together. I'm from Poland. This country is somethimes strange but almost all the people loves the Pope here. I would be very happy if they love literature too, and if they will be as critical as John Donne.
