Only by the Heart (1/15/17) Posted on January 15, 2017January 12, 2017 by Millicent Only by the Heart (1/15/17) I asked an old wise mind secretly last night, “Open to me the secret of this world.” He lowered his voice and whispered in my ear, “Be silent. It cannot be said. It can be understood only by the heart.” Rubailer, Page 250, Rubai #3
