    On Love


    BY KAHLIL GIBRAN

    Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love.

    And he raised his head and looked upon

    the people, and there fell a stillness upon

    them. And with a great voice he said:

    When love beckons to you, follow him,

    Though his ways are hard and steep.

    And when his wings enfold you yield to

    him,

    Though the sword hidden among his

    pinions may wound you.

    And when he speaks to you believe in

    him,

    Though his voice may shatter your dreams

    as the north wind lays waste the garden.



    For even as love crowns you so shall he

    crucify you. Even as he is for your growth

    so is he for your pruning.

    Even as he ascends to your height and

    caresses your tenderest branches that quiver

    in the sun,

    So shall he descend to your roots and

    shake them in their clinging to the earth.



    Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto

    himself.

    He threshes you to make you naked.

    He sifts you to free you from your husks.

    He grinds you to whiteness.

    He kneads you until you are pliant;

    And then he assigns you to his sacred

    fire, that you may become sacred bread for

    God’s sacred feast.



    All these things shall love do unto you

    that you may know the secrets of your

    heart, and in that knowledge become a

    fragment of Life’s heart.



    But if in your fear you would seek only

    love’s peace and love’s pleasure,

    Then it is better for you that you cover

    your nakedness and pass out of love’s

    threshing-floor,

    Into the seasonless world where you

    shall laugh, but not all of your laughter,

    and weep, but not all of your tears.



    Love gives naught but itself and takes

    naught but from itself.

    Love possesses not nor would it be

    possessed;

    For love is sufficient unto love.



    When you love you should not say,

    “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am

    in the heart of God.”

    And think not you can direct the course

    of love, for love, if it finds you worthy,

    directs your course.



    Love has no other desire but to fulfil

    itself.

    But if you love and must needs have

    desires, let these be your desires:

    To melt and be like a running brook

    that sings its melody to the night.

    To know the pain of too much tenderness.

    To be wounded by your own under-

    standing of love;

    And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

    To wake at dawn with a winged heart

    and give thanks for another day of loving;


    To rest at the noon hour and meditate

    love’s ecstasy;

    To return home at eventide with grati-

    tude;

    And then to sleep with a prayer for the

    beloved in your heart and a song of praise

    upon your lips.
