211. Never and ever

Never the two shall meet:
    Doubt and faith.
Never the two shall meet.

Never the two shall meet:
    Love and hatred.
Never the two shall meet.

Never the two shall meet:
    Aspiration-flame and desire-cloud.
Never the two shall meet.

Ever the two shall meet:
    God and man,
    Life and death,
    Ignorance-sea and Reality-Shore.
Ever the two shall meet.
