Then Almitra spoke
again and said,
and what of Marriage master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together,
and together you shall be
forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings
of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together
even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be
spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of the
heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make
not a bond of love:
let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.
Fill each otherย’s cup
but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your
bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance
together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone
