    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
    for ever blest, since here did lie
    and here with lissom limbs did run
    beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
    Lúthien Tinúviel
    more fair than Mortal tongue can tell.
    Though all to ruin fell the world
    and were dissolved and backward hurled;
    unmade into the old abyss,
    yet were its making good, for this―
    the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea―
    that Lúthien for a time should be.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I want to see you.

    Know your voice.

    Recognize you when you
    first come 'round the corner.

    Sense your scent when I come
    into a room you've just left.

    Know the lift of your heel,
    the glide of your foot.

    Become familiar with the way
    you purse your lips
    then let them part,
    just the slightest bit,
    when I lean in to your space
    and kiss you.

    I want to know the joy
    of how you whisper
    "more”
    ― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
