Rumi (13th c. Persian Poet)

"Heartsick, heartbroken--
to know love is to know pain.
What could be more common?
Even so, each broken heart
is so singular
that with it we probe the divine."

The world as my muse

I only know that once there pealed a chime
Of joyous bells,
And forth we walked: the world was free and wide
Before us.
