As far as I can ascertain, Alan, it's from a rather minor work
entitled, Two Precepts of Charity, dated 1273. This would place it as
one of Aquinas' latest works (as he died in 1274), although such
datings are the subject of much discussion. IF it was actually written
- or completed - in 1273, then this was shortly before his reported
mystical experience of God in December of that year after which he
declared that everything he had written seemed like straw to him [mihi
videtur ut palea].
