No 8 (Light)
O God, the longer I gaze upon your face, the more acutely do you seem to turn the gaze of your eyes upon me!…Thus when I meditate on how that face is truth and the best measure of all faces, I am expanded into a state of immense wonder…
Those who look upon you with a loving face will find your face looking at them with love… Those who look upon you in hate will similarly find your face hateful. Those who gaze at you in joy will find your face joyfully reflected back at them.

No 9 (Dark)
O Divine One, all beauty which can be conceived is less than the beauty of your face.
Though every face is beautiful, no face is beauty’s self but your face, God/ess, has beauty and this having is being.
It is absolute beauty itself, which is the form that gives being to every beautiful form.
– Nicolas of Cusa
