I purified my lips with sacred fire that I might speak of love, but when I opened my mouth to speak, I found myself mute.
O Black and unknown bards of long ago, How came your lips to touch the sacred fire?
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few.
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force...Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
Like sheaves of corn it gathers you unto itself. It threshes you to make you naked. It sifts you to free you from your husks. It grinds you to whiteness. It kneads you until you are pliant. And then it assigns you to its sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's Heart.
