The Book of the Lover and the Beloved is a 14th-century mystical treatise by Ramon Llull that explores themes of divine love and spiritual longing through a poetic dialogue between the Lover and the Beloved.

“Pensando en la muerte, el amigo dijo: «¡Oh, Reina del Cielo!, estando yo para morir, extended y mostrad vuestro regazo, en el que estuvo reclinado mi dulcísimo Amado, y no temeré a daño alguno de cuantos me podrían causar los enemigos»””

— Ramon Llull

“Pensaba el amigo en la muerte, y temió mucho, hasta que se acordó de la noble ciudad de su Amado, de la cual son puerta y entrada la muerte y el amor””

— Ramon Llull

“Amado mío, creaste libre mi amor, para que pudiese amar y despreciar tus honores y para que pueda aumentar en él tu amor. En esta libertad, pusiste mi voluntad en peligro; por lo cual te ruego que en este peligro te acuerdes de mí, para que mi libre voluntad ponga yo en servidumbre para alabar tus honores y multiplicar en mi corazón llantos y melancolías””

— Ramon Llull

“Preguntaron al amigo qué cosa era el mundo. Respondió: «Es libro para los que saben leer, en el cual es conocido mi Amado». Le preguntaron si su Amado era el mundo. Respondió: «Sí, como el escritor en el libro». «¿ En quién está este libro?». Respondió: «En mi Amado, pues que todo lo contiene mi Amado, por cuya causa el mundo está en mi Amado y no mi Amado en el mundo»””

— Ramon Llull

“Loco, ¿qué cosa es amor? Respondió que amor es aquella cosa que pone en servidumbre a los libres y da libertad a los siervos; y de aquí se origina la cuestión sobre si el amor es más cercano a servidumbre o a libertad””

— Ramon Llull

“Creó Dios la noche para que el amigo velara y pensara en las noblezas de su Amado. Y pensaba el amigo que la había creado para que reposaran y durmieran los que fatigaron por amor””

— Ramon Llull

“Jahia l'amich en llit d'amor. Los lançols eren de plaers, e lo cobertor era de languiments, el cuxí era de plors.E era qüestió sil drap del cuxí era drap dels lançols o del cobertor.””

— Ramon Llull
