Maiden

Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jar,’

…the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.

Does a maiden forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet My people have forgotten Me for days without number.

With you I shatter man and woman; with you I shatter the old man and the youth; with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.
