Dear Ones, Beware of the tiny gods frightened men Create To bring anesthetic relief to their sad days.
HAFEZI know the way you can get / When you have not had a drink of Love: / Your face hardens, / Your sweet muscles cramp. / Children become concerned / About a strange look that appears in your eyes / Which even begins to worry your own mirror / And nose.
