I believe it's from a poem, but I can't remember which, or the author. I doubt it's from a terribly esoteric source, though. I just can't seem to recall. Thank you!

Alfred Lord Tennyson
In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 097
Her faith is fixt and cannot move,
She darkly feels him great and wise,
She dwells on him with faithful eyes,
‘I cannot understand: I love.’
Sorry, Diana - but I hope the asker votes for you. Nice explanation of the Latin.

It's from Tennyson's "In Memoriam A. H. H. Obiit...." ("Obiit" isn't a misspelling of English, but Latin for "he/she/it is dead" or "has died.") . . .

P.S.: Dang burn it, John, you beat me again! :-)
P.P.S.: No, no, you were first, John. Honestly, points are nice, but I don't care much about them. I'm just in a goofy mood today!
