    Kabir
    “Are you looking for me?
    I am in the next seat.
    My shoulder is against yours.

    not in Indian shrine rooms,
    nor in synagogues,
    nor in cathedrals:
    not in masses,
    nor kirtans,
    not in legs winding around your own neck,
    nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
    When you really look for me,
    you will see me instantly —
    you will find me in the tiniest house of time.

    He is the breath inside the breath.”

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning
    “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of being and ideal grace.
    I love thee to the level of every day's
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
    I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.”
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnets from the Portuguese
