"He said: tell me their secret, but I who knew it for so many years sought for a word, a moment of hesitation and in vain I tried to explain it.
Then I said: Love, but I suddenly knew it was more than that, a mystical significance, incomprehensible but still of this earth, for everyone as well as I.
It is music, a word, a gesture, a sign, and it shines in someone's eyes, it is in his heart and mine, it is the sacred covenant of all that is beautiful, bright and true.
He asked me: show me their secret, but I could not point to it in countless conversations.
Only he who already possesses it himself can ever discover the secret."
Dutch poet and Freemason -- Willem Brandt
