"You are nearer to me than my jugular vein"
You are my face; no wonder I don't see You:
such closeness is a mystifiying veil.
You are my reason; it's no wonder I don't see You,
because of all this perplexity of thought.
You are nearer to me than my jugular vein.
Mathnawi:VI:666-68, Ver by Camille & Kabir Helminski,
"Rumi:Jewels of Remembrance", Threshold Books, 1996
