"Thy business is changing things and bestowing favours, My business is mistakes and forgetfulness and error, Change my mistakes and forgetlulness to knowledge I am altogether vile; make me temperate and meek. O thou that convertest salt earth into bread And bread again into the life of men, Thou makest some earth-born men as heaven And multipliest heaven-born saints on earth."
Rumi
