[2010, MEXICO AND NEW ORLEANS, TRANSLATION OF ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS]
“Noche Oscura was inspired by the poem of that title, one of the greatest of all love poems in Spanish, by St. John of the Cross, the 16th century Spanish mystic. A woman waits in the night until all is quiet. She goes out into the darkness guided only by the light within, meets her lover and becomes one with him, in a state of mystical union leaving her cares abandoned among the lilies.” – Josephine Sacabo
