BRING BEAUTY and order into my forlorn life, woman, as you brought them into my house when you lived. Sweep away the dusty fragments of the hours, fill the empty jars, and mend all that has been neglected. Then open the inner door of the shrine, light the candle, and let us meet there in silence before our God.
I EVER GO seeking for this self of mine; but how can I know the fugitive, who flits in dreams in changing forms and guises? Often have I listened to its voice in the heart of my own songs, but never know I where it dwells. The hours pass, the light fades, the farewell tune is wafted in the evening breeze from the flute of a passer-by.
