where the roses glow

Yes Truth may be, but 'tis not Here; mankind must seek and find it There,
But Where nor I nor you can tell, nor aught earth-mother ever bare.
Enough to think that Truth can be: come sit we where the roses glow,
Indeed he knows not how to know who knows not also how to 'unknow.'
- Sir Richard Francis Burton:
The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî (1870)
