Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enforce you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
...For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning...
All these things shall love do unto youth you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart."
- Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet
(He was the first poet I ever fell in love with his musings and wrote my senior paper on his book The Prophet)
