Love's secret
Love is never stronger
than when guided by a neutral altruism
manipulating anyone unconsciously
to any strange constructive purpose and direction
most astonishing in their results
to the unconscious messenger of love himself.
That is another of love's manifold manifestations,
that it works best silently and underground
without attracting notice, like a mole,
pervading life and people with that destiny
of only good, which is received then naturally
without thanks as something obvious and self-evident.
That love is deepest which remains concealed,
unknown to everyone except the keeper of the secret.
