This is the female form; | |
A divine nimbus exhales from it from head to foot; | |
It attracts with fierce undeniable attraction! | |
I am drawn by its breath as if I were no more than a helpless vapor— |

This is the female form; | |
A divine nimbus exhales from it from head to foot; | |
It attracts with fierce undeniable attraction! | |
I am drawn by its breath as if I were no more than a helpless vapor— |
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
