"Love and mistress are both veiled and hidden Impute it not as a fault if I call Him ‘Bride.’ I would have kept silence from fear of my Beloved If He had granted me but a moment’s respite. But He said, ‘Speak on, ’tis no fault, ’Tis naught but the necessary result of the hidden decree ’Tis a fault only to him who only sees faults How can the Pure Hidden Spirit notice faults.’"
Rumi
