Quote by Edwin Markham, Outwitted
He drew a circle that shut me out--Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.But Love and I had the wit to win:We drew a circle that took him in.
Summary
This quote, often attributed to the American poet Edwin Markham, represents the power of love and understanding to overcome divisions and exclusions. The initial circle drawn by someone in judgment attempts to isolate and reject the speaker, labeling them as a heretic or rebel. However, the speaker and Love, representing empathy and acceptance, respond by creating a new circle that embraces the person who had initially excluded them. Through their inclusive circle, they demonstrate the transformative capacity of love to bridge divides and foster unity.
