Quotes from Frithjof Schuon's Road to the Heart

Road to the Heart: Poems

Frithjof Schuon

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

The Song

A finite image of Infinity:

This is the purpose of all poetry.

All human work to its last limits tends;

Its Archetype is Heaven never ends.

What is the sense of Beauty and of Art?

To show the way into our inmost Heart--

To listen to the music of the Sky;

And then to realize: the Song was I.
