Jerusalem is the city
whose  peace never ends,
A peace of great joy;
A place where desire does not
precede  reality,
and whose rewards are not
less than desire.

Vera Jerusalem 
 est illa civitas 
cuius pax iugis est,  
summa iucunditas ; 
ubi non praevenit 
rem desiderium 
nec desiderio 
minus est praemium.

 

Peter Abelard, Poem, First Half of Twelfth Century
