A seeker would naturally see the shell when he comes seeking the pearl. The same applies to pilgrim of love in the quest for love of Meem.

I came by the river
Why not pass by the canoe

I came for the pearl
Why not feel the shell

I came for the rose
Why not listen to the nightingale

I came for the Green Dome
Why not visit the Black Square too

Swear I upon
The Meem dear
Nothing in this world
Is to me as near

O Most-Forgiving
Let go my shortcoming:
When love dominates
Sanity mine annihilates
