O SON OF SPIRIT!
The bird seeketh its nest; the nightingale the
charm of the rose; whilst those birds, the hearts
of men, content with transient dust, have
strayed far from their eternal nest, and with
eyes turned towards the slough of heedlessness
are bereft of the glory of the divine presence. Alas!
How strange and pitiful; for a mere cupful, they
have turned away from the billowing seas of the
Most High, and remained far from the most effulgent
horizon.
