“Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light.”

“Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by light.Bu since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother's milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship.”

“Would the valleys were your streets, and the green paths your alleys, that you might seek one another through vineyards, and come with the fragrance of the earth in your garments.”

“Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.”

“And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart:Your seeds shall live in my body,And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,And your fragrance shall be my breath,And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.”

“And your fragrance shall be my breath,And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.”

“Would that I could gather your houses into my hand, and like a sower scatter them in forest and meadow.”
