    Sweet Benjamin, since thou art young,

    The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman.... The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Muhammad is the Messenger of God,
    and those who are with him are hard
    against the unbelievers, merciful
    one to another. Thou seest them
    bowing, prostrating, seeking bounty
    from God and good pleasure. Their
    mark is on their faces, the trace of
    prostration....
    God has promised
    those of them who believe and do deeds
    of righteousness forgiveness and
    a mighty wage.
    Qur’An. Victory 48:35, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    Neither a work of nature nor one of art we get to know when they have been finished; we must surprise them in the process of being created so as to understand them to some degree.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
