    Hölderlin, Balthasar, and Wild Hearts

    Ah! For man’s wild heart no home is possible.

                                                                                    Friedrich Hölderlin, Hyperion

     
    God is so wide that, within his spaciousness, even the longing for unfulfillable longing can soar freely. Gregory of Nyssa understood this best and gave an answer to Rilke’s convulsed nostalgic pathos.
                                                                  
                                                                  Hans Urs von Balthasar, The Grain of Wheat
