A person made dazed
by the cup of love
forgets all other joys.
He speaks with remembrance
in his innermost soul-
and then falls silent
to outer disputes.
~ 'Ala' al-Dawala Simnani
The wine of life is oozing drop by drop,
The leaves of life are falling one by one.
~ Omar Khayyam
.
Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us -
Free of our bridges
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
