Judah ha-Levy, Dîwân des Abu-l-Hasân Jehuda ha-Levi, ed. H. Brody (Westmead, England, 1971), 3: 5

Jewish Mysticism
In His tent He set His Presence,

and placed the visions for the prophets,

to look upon His image;

there is no form and no plan,

no limit to His understanding,

but only the visions [as they appear] in the eyes of the prophets,

like an exalted and elevated king.

Translated by Elliot Wolfson in Through a Speculum that Shines- Vision and Imagination in Medieval Jewish Mysticism, Princeton- Princeton University Press, 1994.
