A charm invests a face
A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld.
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.
But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies,
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
Emily Dickinson
“Both sexual love and spiritual experience are engaged in the activity of union, of becoming one with the Other. This is why these are probably the two most powerful forces in most people’s lives, because both Eros and spirit return us to the original nature of Being. Everything else is some distortion of that fundamental longing. — Jane Hirshfield
