 "Intoxicated by the Wine of Love. - |  - From each a mystic silence Love demands. - |  - What do all seek so earnestly? 'Tis Love. - |  - What do they whisper to each other? Love. - |
|---|---|---|---|
 - Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts. - |  - In Love no longer 'thou' and 'I' exist, - |  - For Self has passed away in the Beloved. - |  - Now will I draw aside the veil from Love, - |
 - And in the temple of mine inmost soul, - |  - Behold the Friend; Incomparable Love. - |  - He who would know the secret of both worlds, - |  - Will find the secret of them both, is Love." |
