A line from the Third Script
May 10th, 2014Still, we cannot speak (the) familiar!
hearing (the) familiar, I’d wish!
Thorough-speaking must,
And thorough-hearing!
The hearts, are sealed!
The tongues, are sealed!
And the ears, are sealed!
Shams Tabrizi (1184?-1247?), Rumi’s instructor, cited in N. Saheb-Zamani, The Thrid Script, 1972.
