Painless body is only soil and water
Everybody vecomes lover
O, there is no leveless heart in the worls.”

Context: Now I know surely and forever,
However much I have blotted our
Waking love, its memory is still
there. And I know the web, the net,
The blind and crippled bird. For then, for
One brief instant it was not blind, nor
Trapped, not crippled. For one heart beat the
Heart was free and moved itself. O love,
I who am lost and damned with words,
Whose words are a business and an art,
I have no words. These words, this poem, this
Is all confusion and ignorance.
But I know that coached by your sweet heart,
My heart beat one free beat and sent
Through all my flesh the blood of truth.
"Be Strong".

“If neither love nor pain
Will ever touch thy heart,
Then only God's in thee,
And then in God thou art”
The Cherubinic Wanderer
“O happy race of mortals,
if your hearts are ruled
as is the universe, by Love!”
O felix hominum genus,
si uestros animos amor
quo caelum regitur regat!
Poem VIII, lines 28-30; translation by W. V. Cooper
Alternate translation:
: How happy is mankind
if the love that orders the stars above
rules, too, in your hearts.
