Marriage's The Theme.

i implore upon students whom may have the knowledge of Literature,
to practice their skills of critical analysis, by playing critic on this peom,
the theme is marriage. And of course, those who take interest,
might play critic too.

you were born together,
and together you shall be forevermore.
Aye, you shall be together,
even in the silent memory of god.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of heaven dance between you.
Love one another but not make a bond of love:
let it rather be
a moving sea between the shores of your soul;
Fill each other's cup
but drink not from one cup;
give another your bread
but eat not from the same loaf.
-Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
