' The Belief of Plotinus '...


Plotinus' belief that in all his lesser loves, man is seeking the divine,

that it is the object he really permanently wants much more than these temporary ones,

is the truth to which he must come one day.

And he will come by a double movement:

the first, away from them by successive disenchantments,

the second by progressive glimpses of the divine beauty.
