" the !n(tro)verted yogi Five Wise Lines from Fireflies by Rabindranath Tagore B Gourley Aug 31 In the drowsy dark caves of the mind / dreams build their nest with fragments / dropped from day's caravan. From the solemn gloom of the temple / children run out to sit in the dust, / God watches them play / and forgets the priest. The wind tries to take the flame by storm / only to blow it out. The same sun is newly born in new lands / in a ring of endless dawns. When death comes and whispers to me, / "Thy days are ended." / let me say to him, "I have lived in love / and not in mere time." / He will ask, "Will thy songs remain?" / I shall say, "I know not, but this I know / that often when I sang I found my eternity.
