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 they receive sight.
Let them into one another sink
so as to endure each other outright.
"The Lovers" by Rainer Maria Rilke - Summer, 1908
