1.The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and
laughs and flies away.
2. Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high.
3. I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me.
4. O beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.
5. You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had
been waiting long.
6. Shadow, with her veil drawn, follows Light in secret meekness, with
her silent steps of love.
7.While the glass lamp rebukes the earthen for calling it cousin, the moon rises, and the
glass lamp, with a bland smile, calls her, “My dear, dear sister.”
8. Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near.
The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart.
9. “How far are you from me, O fruit?”
“I am hidden in your heart, O flower.”
10. This longing is for the one who is felt in the dark, but not seen in the day.
