Material referenced:

“Still, Lord, you hide from my soul in your light and beauty, and therefore it still lives in darkness and in misery. I look all round, but I do not see your beauty. I listen, but I do not hear your harmony. I smell, but I do not gather your fragrance. I taste, but do not know your savour. I touch, but do not feel your yielding. For, Lord God, it is in your own unutterable manner that you have these things; you have given them to what you have created in a manner which can be felt, but the senses of my soul have been hardened, dulled, and blocked by the ancient sickness of sin.”
-Proslogion Ch. 17


“By you the world is renewed and made beautiful with truth, governed by the light of righteousness.”
-Prayer to the Holy Cross


“For if each good thing is delightful, think carefully how delightful must be that good which holds within it the joy of every good, and not such a good as we experience in created things, but as different as Creator is from creature. For if life that is created is good, how good must the life of the Creator be? If salvation that is wrought is joyful, how joyful must that salvation be that saves all things? If the wisdom that knows everything that is made is lovable, how lovable must that wisdom be that made all things out of nothing? Finally, since there is so much and such deep delight in delightful things, how much better and deeper is the delight which is in him who made these delights?”
-Proslogion Ch. 24
