If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain...

~ Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)

What is the price of Experience? do men buy it for a song

Or wisdom for a dance in the street? no it is bought with the price

Of all that a man has, his house his wife his children.

Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy

And in the withered field where the farmer ploughs for bread in vain.

 

   from Vala by    the incomparable William Blake

"to Mercy Pity Peace and Love all pray in their distress

and to these virtues of delight

return their thankfullness.

For Mercy has a human heart

Pity a human face

and Love the human form divine

and Peace the human dress.

Then every man of every clime

that prays in his distress

prays to the human form divine

Love Mercy Pity Peace."

 

from The Divine Image by William Blake

what is to be done, O submitters to God? for i do not recognise myself.

i am neither christian nor jew nor buddhist nor moslem.

i am not of the east nor of the west nor of the land nor of the sea:

i am not of natures mint nor of the circling heaven.

i am not of earth nor of water nor of air nor of fire:

i am not of the cosmos nor of the dust nor of existence nor of entity.

i am not of india nor of china nor of bulgaria 

i am not of the kingdom of iraq nor of the country of khorasan

i am not of this world nor of the next nor of paradise nor of hell

i am not of adam nor of eve nor of the garden of eden.

my place is the placeless my trace is the traceless:

tis neither body nor soul for i belong to the soul of the beloved.

i have put duality away and i have seen that the two worlds are one:

one  i seek one i know one i see one i call.

he is the first he is the last he is the outward he is the inward

i know of none other.

i am intoxicated with loves cup

the two worlds have passed out of my ken:

i have no business save carouse and revelry.

if once in my life i spent a moment without thee

from that time and that hour i repent of my life.

if once in this world i win a moment with thee

i will trample on both worlds i will dance in triumph forever.

O Shamsi Tabriz i am so drunken in this world

that except of drunkenness and revelry  i have no tale to tell.

 

from 'divan i shams'

'there is a great power within you and when you use it,  it spreads around you like a magic garden. When you do not use it, it recedes from you.'
