Rabindranath Tagore - Stray Birds 81 - 90

81 br br WHAT is this unseen flame of darkness br whose sparks are the stars? br br 82 br br LET life be beautiful like summer flowers br and death like autumn leaves. br br 88 br br HE who wants to do good knocks at the gate; br he who loves br finds the gate open. br br 84 br br IN death the many becomes one; br in life the one becomes many. br Religion will be one br when God is dead. br br 85 br br THE artist is the lover of Nature, br therefore he is her slave br and her master. br br 86 br br 'HOW far are you from me, O Fruit?' br 'I am hidden in your heart, O Flower.' br br 87 br br THIS longing is for the one who is felt in the dark, br but not seen in the day. br br 88 br br 'YOU are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf, br I am the smaller one on its upper side, br ' said the dewdrop to the lake. br br 89 br br THE scabbard is content to be dull br when it protects the keenness of the sword. br br 90 br br IN darkness br the One appears as uniform; br in the light br the One appears as manifold.
