A Garden Beyond Paradise, by Rumi

PULL THE THORNS FROM YOUR heart. Then you will see the rose gardens within you,” wrote Rumi,

The muse and angel come from outside us: the angel gives lights, and the muse gives forms (Hesiod learned from her). Loaf of gold or tunic fold: the poet receives forms in his grove of laurel. But one must awaken the duende in the remotest mansions of the blood.
