here and there,
asked for news of you
from all I met;
then saw you through myself

Now I blush to think I ever
searched for signs of you.”

“You, the sought for; I, the seeker; this, the search:
And each is the mission of all.”
Kenneth Patchen (1911–1972) American writer and poet
"The Character of Love Seen as a Search for the Lost"
Context: You, the sought for; I, the seeker; this, the search:
And each is the mission of all. For greatness is only the drayhorse that coaxes
The built cart out; and where we go is reason.
But genius is an enormous littleness, a trickling
Of heart that covers alike the hare and the hunter.
George William Russell (1867–1935) Irish writer, editor, critic, poet, and artistic painter
