“Who hears the fishes when they cry?”
“Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?”
“Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' hierarchies?”
“He who could hear my heart knew that I was crying out for help.”
“The human heart cries out for help; the human soul implores us for deliverance; but we do not heed their cries, for we neither hear nor understand. But the man who hears and understands we call mad, and flee from him.”
“The time when there is nothing at all in your soul except a cry for help may be just that time when God can't give it: you are like the drowning man who can't be helped because he clutches and grabs. Perhaps your own reiterated cries deafen you to the voice you hoped to hear.”
