The Dancer - from The Wanderer
Once there came to the court of the Prince of Birkasha a dancer with her musicians. And she was admitted to the court, and she danced before the prince to the music the lute and the flute and the zither. She danced the dance of flames, and the dance of swords and spears; she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space. And then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind. After this she stood before the throne of the prince and bowed her body before him. And the prince bade her to come nearer, and he said unto her,
"Beautiful woman, daughter of grace and delight, whence comes your art?
And how is it that you command all the elements in your rhythms and your rhymes?"
And how is it that you command all the elements in your rhythms and your rhymes?"
And the dancer bowed again before the prince, and she answered, "Mighty and gracious Majesty, I know not the answer to your questionings. Only this I know: The philosopher's soul dwells in his head, the poet's soul is in the heart; the singer's soul lingers about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body."

totally!!! and argued not, because a poet does expresses what's inside...thru words and what not....
saya rasa semua org adalah puitis dengan cara masing-masing dan tersendiri....
everyone's a poet...and so are you... :)

Beautiful...
If you don’t mind, I’d like to quote the Dancer and put it on my blog. Boleh?
...Because somehow the story reminds me of an argument between The Brain and The Heart.
Somebody said The Heart could have a brain but The Brain seemed not really pleased.
And...
Ah. I think you know how the story ends, kan.
Forget about it.
Can you email me the whole story of the Dancer? Teringin pulak nak baca.
