Nigeria: Mariam

Mariam, originally uploaded by janchan.

Love sprang from its chains and took hold of reason;
intellect cried out at the hands of Love: help! help!
The Mary of eternal love bore the wonder that was Christ,
and reason can find no redress, since she has borne such delight.
Jalal al-Din Rumi
