Hafez
The small man builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dropping keys all night long For the beautiful rowdy prisoners.
Hafez
Thou learnest no secret until thou knowest friendship, since to the unsound no heavenly knowledge enters.
Hafez
