O Lord, intoxicate me with the wine of Thy Love. Place the chains of Thy slavery on My feet; Make me empty of all but Thy love, And in it destroy me and bring me Back to life. The hunger Thou has awakened culminates in fulfillment. - Sufimaster Sheikh Abdullah Ansari

Because thou lovest the burning-ground, I have made a burning-ground of my heart. That thou, dark one, hunter of the burning-ground, mayest dance thy eternal dance. - Bengali hymn to Kali

God of ecstasy and terror, of wildness and of the most blessed deliverance. - Walter Otto

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside....
You get me closer to god. - Nine Inch Nails, "Closer"

I am raised up and I will not reject the flute,
O ruler of my mind. Look, he stirs me up,
Euoi, the ivy now whirls me round in Bacchic contest. -Sophocles

I wanted to be near, I wanted you to hear
I wanted you to know, it all belongs to you.
With everything I own, I give to you alone
I wanted you to know, it all belongs to you. - Solar Twins, "Astral Hymn"

And I know how to lead off the sprightly
dance of the lord Dionysos, the dithyramb.
I do it thunderstruck with wine. - Archilochus

Overcome by your moving temple
Overcome by this holiest of altars - A Perfect Circle, "Magdalena"

O thou leader of the choral dance of the fire-breathing stars, lord of the songs of night. - Sophocles

Many are the wand bearers;
I bear with me no sign;
Yet, I was mad, was drunken,
Ere yet I tasted wine;
Nor bleeding grape can slacken
The thirst wherewith I pine;
And the god, the true Iacchus,
Hears now this song of mine. - Edith Thomas

The pinnacle of happiness
Filling up your soul
You don't think you can take any more
You never wanna let go
To touch the roots of experience
The most basic ingredients. - Faith No More, "The Real Thing"

Where shall we tread the dance, tossing our white heads in the dances of the god? - Euripides

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendour and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me - PJ Harvey, "The Dancer"

Recognise this as a holy gift and
Celebrate this chance
To be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me
Of my own mortality
Embrace this moment
Remember, we are eternal
All this pain is an illusion. - Tool, "Parabola"

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one-way street - Bjork, "Bachelorette"

As intoxicating as full bodied wine
As essential as the blood that runs through my veins
Immeasurable as eternity
Your face is a door to a memory locked away
In the tombs of time
Your eyes are the candle
In the secret temple of my mind
Your voice stirs the patina of emotions
That lie in another world
You are
The mad wise fool
Who listens to his ancient spirit
Whispering words to forgotten songs
And in my dream you appeared
As a miasma of light in the darkness
To re-awaken my heart as if by alchemy
From that deepest of sleeps
And I have risen to claim you. - Natascha Atlas, "Andeel", translation

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance. - T.S. Eliot

I will have been dancing
I will have tasted the wine
felt the sweet embrace
of the savage fetterings of the mind

I will have called forth the bull
I will have been torn to pieces
Nymphs will have seen my body
I will have seen the bodies of Nymphs

This will have once been my home
before I will have retreated to the forest
I will have touched the minds of the Gods
and retreating, I will always have been dancing. - Nuri, "future perfect"
