It is the warp and weave of relationships--
Those worth their salt anyway:
neglect such flow and form and your own peril.
You must ask more than can be reasonably expected;
You must give more than you can afford to lose.
Be wise, but defy reason;
Be cautious, but defy custom.

A solid friendship is built
by observing certain rules of relating.
Love will not meet you there;
he thinks it a cage, which is false,
and a country too small for him, which is true.
