  • No corner is without wild beasts; there is no rest but in the place where you are alone with God.
  • The corner (narrow cell) of this world's inevitable prison is not exempt from the charges for visitors and (the cost of) housewarming.

  • Man has fatness from (thrives on) fancy, if his fancies are beautiful;
  • And if his fancies show anything unlovely he melts away as wax (is melted) by a fire. 595
  • If amidst snakes and scorpions God keep you with the fancies of them that are (spiritually) fair,
  • The snakes and scorpions will be friendly to you, because that fancy is the elixir which transmutes your copper (into gold).
  • Patience is sweetened by fair fancy, since (in that case) the fancies of relief (from pain) have come before (the mind).
  • That relief comes into the heart from faith: weakness of faith is despair and torment.
  • Patience gains a crown from faith: where one hath no patience, he hath no faith. 600
