卡里．紀伯倫（Kahlil Gibran）
艾蜜特拉又問，大師，那麼「婚姻」呢？他回答說：
你們一起出生，也將終生廝守。當死亡的白翼撲散你們的生命時，你們仍必相守。是的，即使在神靜默的記憶裡，你們也將同在。
但是，請在你們相依的世界中保留些許空間，讓天堂的微風在你們之間舞動。彼此相愛，但不要讓愛成為枷鎖，讓愛像是你倆靈魂海岸之間流動的海洋；
斟滿彼此的杯子，但不要同飲一杯；彼此餵食麵包，但不要同吃一塊；
一起唱歌舞蹈，快樂逍遙，但也要各自獨處保有自我。好比魯特琴的琴弦，雖因同一首樂曲振動，卻是各自獨立。
奉獻你們的心，但不要交由對方保管，因為只有生命之手才能包容你們的心。你們要站在一起，但不要靠得太近，因為柱子必須各自矗立，才足以支撐神殿，如同橡樹和柏樹無法在彼此的陰影下成長。
On Marriage
Kahlil Gibran
Then Almitra spoke again and said, And what of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of your be alone,
Even as the strings of the lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.Gemini：
這首Canon，鋼琴與大提琴的聲音，各自獨立，互相唱和，各有強弱時候!
