"The halo is this supplement added to perfection -- something like the vibration of that which is perfect, the glow at its edges. "One can think of the halo ...as a zone in which possibility and reality, potentiality and actuality, become indistinguishable. The being that reached its end, that has consumed all of its possibities, thus receives as a gift a supplemental possibility. [....] This imperceptible trembling of the finite that makes its limits indeterminable and allows it to blend, to make itself whatever, is the tiny displacement that every thing must accomplish in the messianic world. Its beatitude is that of a potentiality that comes only after the act, of matter that does not remain beneath the form, but surrounds it with a halo."
