1. The Lovers

    See how in their veins all becomes spirit;
    into each other they mature and grow.
    Like axles, their forms tremblingly orbit,
    round which it whirls, bewitching and aglow.
    Thirsters, and they receive drink,
    watchers, and see: they receive sight.
    Let them into one another sink
    so as to endure each other outright.

    – Rainer Maria Rilke
