The Teak Forest
"For this is wisdom - to love and live,
To take what gave or the gods may give.
To ask no questions, to make no prayer,
To kiss the lips and caress the hair,
Speed passion's ebb as we greet its flow,
To have and to hold, and, in time - let go."
--- by Laurence Hope, from The Garden of Kama (1901)
