Almitra Then again, I speak 'and said, what of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying: You
You were born together and together you always.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
together even in the silent memory of God
But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And
of you dance to the winds of heaven.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another, but do not eat the same bread.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but each of you be alone,
as strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other,
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
The columns of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in shadow.
