Soul - 灵魂

The soul grows according to it own law. --Heracleitos

The soul, too, has virginity and must bleed a little before bearing fruit. --George Santayana

The seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.

"The Conference of the Birds" by Fariduddin Attar is no accident a story about birds, for the bird is an ancient symbol of the human soul,  which can be either caged or set free.
