All through eternity <br />Beauty unveils His exquisite form <br />in the solitude of nothingness; <br />He holds a mirror to His Face <br />and beholds His own beauty. <br />he is the knower and the known, <br />the seer and the seen; <br />No eye but His own <br />has ever looked upon this Universe. <br /> <br />His every quality finds an expression: <br />Eternity becomes the verdant field of Time and Space; <br />Love, the life-giving garden of this world. <br />Every branch and leaf and fruit <br />Reveals an aspect of His perfection- <br />They cypress give hint of His majesty, <br />The rose gives tidings of His beauty. <br /> <br />Whenever Beauty looks, <br />Love is also there; <br />Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek <br />Love lights Her fire from that flame. <br />When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night <br />Love comes and finds a heart <br />entangled in tresses. <br />Beauty and Love are as body and soul. <br />Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond. <br /> <br />They have together <br />since the beginning of time- <br />Side by side, step by step.<br /><br />Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-through-eternity/
