moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other"s cup but
drink not of one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the
same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you
be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with
the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other"s keeping. For
only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not
too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak
tree and the cypress grow not in each other"s shadow." | |
