“He who seeks ecstasy in love should not complain of suffering.”

“And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.”

“If I were to choose between the power of writing a poem and the ecstasy of a poem unwritten, I would choose the ecstasy. It is better poetry.”

“And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.”

“Your friend is your needs answered.He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.And he is your board and your fireside.For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.”

“And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue;”

“And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.”
