“My Jesu swet I go to mete

His body is my soles delete.

Always I rise from the glomby earth

When Jesu sucketh me with his swet mouth.”

 

–attributed to St. Dorothea of Montau, ca. 1390

Dorethea was an ascetic, flagellant, ecstatic visionary, immured alive in the walls of the Marienwerder Cathedral, Danzig (nee Gdansk).
