Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!

Don't be surprised at Fortune's turns and twists: That wheel has spun a thousand yarns before.

Send a bouquet of your face with the morning breeze.

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.

Thou learnest no secret until thou knowest friendship, since to the unsound no heavenly knowledge enters.

The lips of the one I love are my perpetual pleasure...

On the holy boughs of the Celestial Tree High up in the heavenly fields, Beyond terrestrial desire My soul-bird a warm nest has built.

The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.

Only a Perfect One who is always laughing at the word two can make you know of Love.

Oh, you who are trying to learn the marvel of Love through the copy book of reason, I’m very much afraid that you will never really see the point.
