Quotes from Road to the Heart-Poems

Road to the Heart: Poems

Frithjof Schuon

World Wisdom, Bloomington, Indiana, 1995. 108 pages.

KNOWLEDGE

There are things we do know and others not;

Knowledge of space and time I do not miss.

Maybe I do not know what people are

Or what I am; I know that Being is.

      page 35

TELL ME

Tell me why thou hast loved the mountain top,

Its serene silence and its purity,

And I will tell thee that our spirit's rest

Is solitude with God; serenity

Above the noise of thoughts. And tell me why

Thou lov'est the secret of the whispering wood,

Its sacredness and dark security,

And I will tell thee that our lasting joy

Is union, love within our deepest heart,

Diving into our being's Mystery;

Union with what I am, and what thou art.
