Rumi--"The Wine of Madness"
The Wine of Madness
Shatter open my skull, pour in it the wine of madness!
Let me be mad, as mad as You, mad with You, with us.
Beyond the sanity of fools is a burning desert
Where Your Sun is whirling in every atom; drag me there,
Beloved, drag me there, let me roast in Perfection!
Rumi (tr. Andrew Harvey)
