I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees
The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you not knowing how blind that was
With passion pray With passion make love With passion eat and drink and dance and play
Silence is the language of God all else is poor translation
A tree as great as a man’s embrace begins with a tiny shoot A tower nine stories high
Those who know do not speak those who speak do not know Close the mouth
He who knows others is wise he who knows himself is enlightened He who conquers others has force
Though reason’s lamp may guide the cautious way love’s fire alone consumes the heart entire What use is mind
O cupbearer, bring forth the cup, and pass it round for love appeared at first, and brought much pain At dawn, the breeze shall loose the musk of night
I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light
