Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip. - Gitanjali (31) [Power] When old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders. - Gitanjali (37) [Progress] The smile that flickers on baby's lips when he sleeps--does anybody know where it was born? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born in the dream of a dew-washed morning. - Gitanjali (61) [Smiles] In this playhouse of infinite forms I have had my play, and here have I caught sight of him that is formless. - Gitanjali (96) [World] God, the Great Giver, can open the whole universe to our gaze in the narrow space of a single land. - Jivan-smitri [God]
