Days come and ages pass, and it is ever he who moves my heart in many a name, in many a guise, in many a rapture of joy and of sorrow. Deliverance is not for me in renunciation. I feel the embrace of freedom in a thousand bonds of delight.

Unless you have found God in your own soul, the whole world will seem meaningless to you.

Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.

Spurious fame spreads from tongue to tongue like the fog of the early dawn before the sun rises.

Night's darkness is a bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.

I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.

Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.
