In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems.Rumi
Valentine's Day runs on declarations, and these are the heavy artillery: Neruda's cherry trees, Rumi learning how to love in your light, Hafez's sun that never says "you owe me." Romantic, quotable and safe to send — every line here is about love itself, spoken to a beloved, not about humanity in general.
