O SON OF DUST!
The wise are they that speak not unless they
obtain a hearing, even as the cup-bearer, who
proffereth not his cup till he findeth a seeker,
and the lover who crieth not out from the depths
of his heart until he gazeth upon the beauty of
his beloved. Wherefore sow the seeds of wisdom
and knowledge in the pure soil of the heart,
and keep them hidden, till the hyacinths of divine
wisdom spring from the heart and not from mire
and clay.
