By love

از محبت تلخها شيرين شود
از محبت مسها زرين شود
از محبت دُردها صافى شود
از محبت دَردها شافى شود
از محبت مرده زنده ميكنند
از محبت شاه بنده ميكنند

By love, the bitter becomes sweet;
by love, copper becomes gold;
by love, dregs become clear;
by love, pains become healing;
by love the dead become living;
by love, the king becomes a slave.

I love this and will add it to my "liturgicals" for Eros... though Rumi is already disproportionately represented there! More than praise, this has spell potential...

In alchemy, copper is the "leprous metal," but without it there is no stuff of transformation. Because of the Greening, I link it to Khidr. Interesting that the leprous metal is a pillar of civilization.

Both copper and the color green are linked with the sphere of Venus in G.·.D.·.
