Thou, for whose love I've sacrifice existence, Art, yet art… - Jamie Oliver

" "
Thou, for whose love I've sacrifice existence,
Art, yet art not, the sum of earth's existence,
Earth lacks true Being, yet depends thereon—
Thou art true Being, Thou art pure existence
The Loved One is quite colourless, O heart,
Be not engrossed with colours, then, O heart
All colours come from what is colourless,
And 'who can dye so well as God,' O heart?

The Moon, though masculine, depends on her.

I was trapped in love
And this trap is enough for me.

Good intentions are useless in the absence of common-sense.
