a torn heart
takes courage
to forgive
– Terri Guillemets, “Forgive with a brave heart,” 2019, blackout poetry created from Rafe Martin, Birdwing, 2005, page 183

Our divine religion, the truth of which (if any history be true) is abundantly proved by historical evidence, has no need of such aids, as many are willing to give it, by asserting, that the wisest men of this world were ignorant of the two great maxims that we must act in respect of others, as we should with them to act in respect of ourselves, and that, instead of returning evil for evil, we should confer benefits even on those who injure us…. Pandits… would cite the beautiful Aryácouplet, which was written at least three centuries before our era, and which pronounces the duty of a good man, even in the moment of his destruction, to consist not only in forgiving, but even in a desire of benefiting, his destroyer, as the Sandal-tree, in the instant of its overthrow, sheds perfume on the axe, which fells it…. – Sir William Jones, “On the Philosophy of the Asiaticks” (eleventh anniversary discourse, delivered 1794 February 20th)

The Bard, triumphant o’er the frowns of fate,
Want, Envy, Calumny, the Tyrant’s hate,
Can conquer all things—save that inward foe,
’Tis Man’s to fight—but God’s to overthrow;
All that Revenge or Malice can contrive,
He can endure, and what is more—forgive!…
The falling Sandal-Tree sheds fragrance round,
Perfumes the axe that fells it to the ground;
Some through their tortured trunks a balm supply,
And to give life to their destroyer—die;
And Earth’s torn, mangled breast, but yields the more,
And pours from deepest wounds her richest store.
– Charles Caleb Colton, Hypocrisy, 1812 (citing Jones)

Forgiveness is the perfume which flowers give when trampled upon. – Quoted in The Sacred Circle, Volume I, edited by Judge Edmonds, Dr. Dexter, and O.G. Warren, 1855

If, as a blind Indiana child once wrote, “forgiveness is the perfume of the violet on the heel that crushed it,” gratitude may safely be characterized as the perfume of the rose on the hand that caressed it. – Quoted in The Judge, 1916 January 8th

There is no substantive evidence that Mark Twain crafted this metaphor. Poems with this symbolism are following a well-trodden flower-filled path. Please be careful. – Garson O’Toole (The Quote Investigator), Forgiveness Is the Fragrance the Violet Sheds on the Heel That Has Crushed It

Without forgiveness life is governed by… an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation. – Roberto Assagioli
