 But awakened love is not content without its object. Love makes her a seeker. Hitherto the Bridegroom has been the seeker, but now at last the bride is the one that seeks. (Canticle 2: The Awakening of Love by H. Smith)
 She has to admit, more than once, "I found Him not." Why is this? Is she not seeking the right person? Indeed she is, but at first she seeks Him in a wrong way. She says, "On my bed, I sought Him." She sought Him, but, at the same time, she sought to retain her ease. (Canticle 2: The Awakening of Love by H. Smith)
 She had sought her Beloved in a wrong way, she now seeks Him in a wrong place. He is not to be found in the city streets and broad highways; He feeds among the lilies. And we too may fall into the same snare. We would like to have Christ, but, we would like to have Christ and the broad highways of this world. But if we cannot have Christ and spare the flesh, neither can we have Christ and retain the world. (Canticle 2: The Awakening of Love by H. Smith)
