Nicodemus The Poet, The Youngest Of The Elders In The Sanhedrim: On Fools And Jugglers
“
Do you not remember me, Nicodemus, who believed in naught but the laws and decrees and was in continual subjection to observances?
And behold me now, a man who walks with life and laughs with the sun from the first moment it smiles upon the mountain until it yields itself to bed behind the hills.
— Kahlil Gibran
