“Love alone brings order eternal, Order brought by law is shortlived. Only selfless lovers make good lawmakers, All others are just playing make belief. Let love come as apocalypse and wipe out, All that is rigid, all that is prehistoric. Welcome love into your life as a purifying force, Let it bring you to life anew and terrific. Life is terrific when life has love but, To have love and to have lover ain't the same. Lover isn't one who has someone to love them back, But one who radiates love, despite living in drought without rain. None knows the value of rain, But the land of eternal drought. None knows the value of love, But the heart that loves despite hurt. Only the one who knows pain, Can love another without gain. Only the heart that knows hurt, Can help another without rain.”

“To hear is to be heard, To see is to be seen. To speak for is to be spoken for, Clean mind makes the world clean. Just mind makes the world just, Just heart makes the head just. Just civilians make democracy just, Just household makes the neighborhood just. The world inside is the world outside, When there is love inside there is love outside. The beauty inside is the beauty outside, When there is sense inside there is sense outside. To sense nonsense is the highest sense, To sense love is even higher sense. To put all sense under love is higher still, If there's no love in senses, all sense is nonsense. Love sensible is no love, You can have either sensibility or love. If love doesn't wipe out all our fake order, It ain't love but mere ravings of the daft.”

“Bess who has been fingering a fruit-lid jar lid — absently, heedlessly dropped it — aimlessly groping across the table, reclaims it again. Lightning in her brain. She releases, grabs, releases, grabs. I can do. Bang! I did that. I can do. I! ... Centuries of human drive work in her; human ecstasy of achievement. satisfaction deep and fundamental as sex: I can do, I use my powers; I! I!”
