The Sunrise Ruby (excerpt) - Rumi In the early morning hour, just before dawn, lover and beloved wake and take a drink of water.
She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more? Really, tell the absolute truth."
He says, "There's nothing left of me. I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight."
(Translated by Coleman Barks)
