when love back on steel follow him. Know his ways are hard and steep, and when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his opinions, may wound you, and when he speaks to you believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden, or even as loud grounds you. So shall he crucify you even as he is for your growth? So is he for your pruning, even as he ascends to your height, and caress your tenderness, branches that quiver in the sun. So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth? But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing floor into the seasonless world where you shall, but not all of your laughter, and we, but not all of your tears. Love gives not. But it's so and takes not but from itself. Love possessed not. Nor would it be possessed. For Love is sufficient and to love and think not. You can direct the course of love if it finds you worthy, directs your course, Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let this be your desires to melt, and be like a running brew that sings its melody to the night. You know the pain of too much standard nous to be wounded by our own understanding of love, and to bleed willingly and joyfully little bit probably not profit.
