    Dag Hammarskjold's "Markings" (as translated by Leif Sjoberg and W. H. Auden) has this quote on the title page, attributing it to Eckhart. In his book "Hammarskjold - A Life," Roger Lipsey says on page 53 that the quote is from Swedish poet Betil Malmberg, and notes: ""In Sjoberg/Auden the epigraph is incorrectly attributed to Meister Eckhart." Will the true author please stand up!
