Four Quatrains – Aug 3
1
Where is a foot worthy to walk a garden,
or any eye that deserves to look at trees?
Show me a man willing to be
thrown in the fire.
2
In the shambles of love, they kill only the best,
none of the weak or deformed.
Don’t run away from this dying.
Whoever’s not klled for love is dead meat.
3
Tonight with wine being poured
and instruments singing among themselves,
one thing is forbidden,
one thing: Sleep.
4
Two strong impulses: One
to drink long and deep,
the other,
not to sober up too soon.
-Rumi
