Question - a quote by maybe St Maximos

[Thekla]

Would appreciate help identifying the source text and correct wording for a quote attributed to St. Maximos the Confessor. I’ve misplaced the link where I read it. “The void beheld the beauty of the pre-eternal Logos and repented of its nothingness.” thanks so much for any help anyone can offer. God with us +

hmm, never heard that quote before. it’s interesting for sure, but sounds a tad off to me. is there maybe some context with that quote?

and I am not saying that it’s not from St Maximos, just wondering if there is anything else that could clarify it.

I read it in a paper, copied it, and unfortunately have no other info (crashed computer). If you don’t mind, what about the statement seems off to you ? Thanks and best to you in Christ

the void beholding and repenting (which I know could be poetic, but that just sounds off to me).
