For in this house, everything
has the look of its landlord.
While the hand moves
the shadow must follow.
Since the shadow gains its substance
from the hand
it has none of itself,
That which derives existence
from something else
how can we say
it truly exists?
It has a name, yes,
but is not that existence
which subsists through God.
~ Fakhruddin Iraqi
from Divine Flashes
Some thought that all these loves were copies of
our love for the landlord.
~ C.S. Lewis
from God in the Dock
