St. Theresa's Experience Of Rapture. Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

St. Theresa writes: When the divine bridegroom decides to enrapture the soul, He orders all the doors of its habitations, even those of the castle and its outworks, to be closed.
In fact, hardly has one entered the rapture, when one ceases to breathe; and if sometimes one retains for few moments the use of one's other senses, one cannot nevertheless, speak a single word.

At other time all the senses are instantly suspended….Rapture lasts but a short time, at least at this high degree; the extreme suspension is relaxed, and the body seems to regain life, that it may die in the same manner, and make the soul more living than before' (The interior castle, trans. Of El Castillo Interior, Moradas Sextas, Chp. Iv) .
