Chain of Saints (6/28/2026)

Posted on June 28, 2026June 27, 2026 by Millicent
Chain of Saints (6/27/2026)

When you fall in Love and become crazy-insane,

you will be tied to the chain of saints.

Today, you are deprived of that chain,

because you are immersed in life and sober.

The Rubaiyat of Rumi, The Ergin Translations, Volume 4, rubai 1479, page 53.

You Are Sober Today (3/13/16)

When you fall in Love, you become crazy-insane;

You become tied to the chain of saints.

Today you are deprived of that chain,

Because you are immersed in life; you are sober today.

Rubailer, Rubai #1, Page 396
