"Man has places in his heart which do not yet exist, and into them enters suffering, in order that they may have existence."  -- Leon Bloy

Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
Tomorrow, when resurrection comes,
The heart that is not in love will fail the test.                           --
Rumi, From Thief of Sleep (trans. by Shahram Shiva)

When I am with you, we stay up all night,
When you're not here, I can't get to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.
                                         --From Essential Rumi (trans. by Coleman Barks)

When the sweet glance of my true love caught my eyes,
Like alchemy, it transformed my copper-like soul.
I searched for Him with a thousand hands,
He stretched out His arms and clutched my feet.
                  -- Rumi, From Thief of Sleep (trans. by Shahram Shiva)
