THE INTERIOR COMMAND
"I began to think of the soul as if it were a castle made of a single diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms, just as in heaven there are many mansions."
St. Teresa of Avila [1515-1582], Interior Castle, I, I, [16th Century]
Painting on top - according to Wikipedia, where I found these paintings - this one from 1576, when she was 61 years of age, is probably the best for getting a glimpse at her likeness. The one below it is by Francois Gerard [1770-1837]
