181 My flower of the day dropped its petals forgotten. In the evening it ripens into a golden fruit of memory. 182 I am like the road in the night listening to the footfalls of its memories in silence. 183 The evening sky to me is like a window, and a lighted lamp, and a waiting behind it. 184 He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good. 185 I am the autumn cloud, empty of rain, see my fulness in the field of ripened rice. 186 They hated and killed and men praised them. But God in shame hastens to hide its memory under the green grass. 187 Toes are the fingers that have forsaken their past. 188 Darkness travels towards light, but blindness towards death. |
