[80] Cf., for instance, “To be an error, and to be cast out, is a part of God’s design” (A Vision of the Last Judgment, Gilchrist’s Life, ii. p. 195); and Illustrations 2 and 16 to the Book of Job, see the commentary on them in Blake’s Vision of the Book of Job, by J. H. Wicksteed, 1910, p. 21 and note 4.  It is interesting to note that, as Mr Bradley points out (Shakesperian Tragedy, pp. 37, 39, 324, 325), it is a cognate idea which seems to underlie Shakesperian tragedy, and to make it bearable.

[83] For other examples of the expression of this idea of the “Following Love,” the quest of the soul by God, especially in the anonymous Middle English poem of Quia amore langueo, see Mysticism, by Evelyn Underhill, pp. 158-162.

[84] The following remarks are much indebted to a valuable article on Bergson and the Mystics, by Evelyn Underhill, in the English Review, Feb. 1912, which should be consulted for a fuller exposition of the light shed by Bergson’s theories on the mystic experience.
