desire & reason

It is the nature of Reason to see the End;
it is the nature of desire not to.

Lust and the secret

When the Heart becomes whole
it will know the flavors of falsehood and truth.
When Adam's greed for forbidden fruit increased,
it robbed his heart of health.
Discernment flies
from one who is drunken with desire.
He who puts down that cup
lightens the inner eye,
and the secret is revealed.
