"Can eye now behold Thee as truly Thou art? Can heart Thy love picture and smiles e’en in part? The heart that’s a slave to a love or a smile Can never be worthy to see thee awhile. Engrossed he that’s now with pleasure and pain Can he by these accidents live o’er again? Green pastures of love in their infinitude More fruits yield than care and than beatitude."
Rumi
