Seite 40 - If I — the Pumpkin why on You? 'If You — then Where am I, and Who ? And yet, how long, O Jami, stringing Verse, Pearl after pearl, on that old Harp of thine? Year after year attuning some new Song, The breath of some old Story? Life is gone, And that last song is not the last; my Soul Is spent — and still a Story to be told! And I, whose back is crooked as the Harp I still keep tuning through the Night till Day!
Seite 72 - By Itself it cast The die of love. But Beauty cannot brook Concealment and the veil, nor patient rest Unseen and unadmired : 'twill burst all bonds, And from Its prison-casement to the world Reveal Itself. See where the tulip grows In upland meadows, how in balmy spring It decks itself ; and how amidst its thorns The wild rose rends its garment, and reveals Its loveliness. Thou, too, when some rare thought, Or beauteous image, or deep mystery Flashes across thy soul, canst not endure To let it pass,...
Seite 83 - To thee, O King, From the Lord Almighty a message I bring : ' Mine eyes have seen her in humble mood ; I heard her prayer when to thee she sued. At the sight of her labors, her prayers, and sighs, The waves of the sea of my pity rise. Her soul from the sword of despair I free, And here from My throne I betroth her to thee.
Seite 71 - Thou'-ness, and apart From all duality; Beauty Supreme, Unmanifest, except unto Itself By Its own light, yet fraught with power to charm The souls of all; concealed in the Unseen, An Essence pure, unstained by aught of ill. No mirror to reflect Its loveliness...
Seite 41 - Thou, whose memory quickens lovers' souls, Whose fount of joy renews the lover's tongue, Thy shadow falls across the world, and they Bow down to it ; and of the rich in beauty Thou art the riches that make lovers mad. Not till Thy secret beauty through the cheek Of Laila smite does she inflame Majnun, And not till Thou have sugar'd Shirin's lip The hearts of those two lovers fill with blood.
Seite 42 - I would be Thy Lover, and thine only — I, mine eyes Seal'd in the light of Thee to all but Thee, Yea, in the revelation of Thyself Lost to Myself, and all that Self is not Within the Double world that is but One.
Seite 48 - And bubbled up with Jewels, and he said ; " Oh SHAH, I am the Slave of thy Desire, " Dust of thy Throne ascending Foot am I ; " Whatever thou Desirest I would do, " But sicken of my own Incompetence ; " Not in the Hand of my infirmer Will " To carry into Deed mine own Desire. " Time upon Time I torture mine own Soul, " Devising liberation from the Snare " I languish in. But when upon that Moon " / thinh, my Soul relapses — and when look — " I leave both Worlds behind to follow her ! " XVI. THE...
Seite 51 - Oh Long, Long Home of Love now lost for Ever! "We were Together — that was all Enough — "We Two rejoicing in each other's Eyes, "Infinitely rejoicing — all the World "Nothing to Us, nor We to all the World— "No Road to reach us, nor an Eye to watch — "All Day we whisper'd in each other's Ears, "All Night we slept in one another's Arms — "All seem'd to our Desire, as if the Hand "Of unjust Fortune were for once too short.
