Torrents

Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (commonly known as Madame Guyon) was a French mystic and one of the key advocates of Quietism. Quietism was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church, and she was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing a book on the topic, A Short and Easy Method of Prayer. Guyon believed that one should pray all the time, and that in whatever one does, one should be spending time with God.

Never had he felt such weariness of body and of spirit. He had passed the whole evening in the company of charming ladies and cultivated men; some of the ladies were beautiful; almost all the men were distinguished by intellect or talent; he himself had talked with great success; even with brilliance … and; for all that; never yet had the taedium vitae of which the Romans talked of old; the 'disgust for life;' taken hold of him with such irresistible; such suffocating force. Had he been a little younger; he would have cried with misery; weariness; and exasperation: a biting; burning bitterness; like the bitter of wormwood; filled his whole soul. A sort of clinging repugnance; a weight of loathing closed in upon him on all sides like a dark night of autumn; and he did not know how to get free from this darkness; this bitterness. Sleep it was useless to reckon upon; he knew he should not sleep.
