The content of the Canticle is an abridged paraphrase of the Canticle of Canticles (the Song of Solomon), wherein under the image of passionate love are described the mystical sufferings and longings of a soul in love with God. The Canticle was composed during the long imprisonment St. John underwent at Toledo from December 1577 until August 1578. His thesis is that the soul must empty itself of self in order to be filled with God, that it must be purified of the last traces of earthly dross before it is fit to become united with God. But to reach this state imperfections should be removed in what he calls the "Dark Night", which consists in the passive purgation, where God by heavy trials, particularly interior ones, perfects and completes what the soul had begun of its own accord. These resemblances with Eastern spirituality will lead also the lecture to cultural comparisons between East and West. (The lecture will be given in Spanish.) 外文系系办 --
