Rabindranath Tagore - Lover`s Gifts LVI: The Evening Was LonelyRabindranath Tagore - Lover`s Gifts LVI: The Evening Was Lonely
Work rating: Low


The evening was lonely for me, and I was reading a book till my heart became dry, and it seemed to me that beauty was a thing fashioned by the traders in words. Tired I shut the book and snuffed the candle. In a moment the room was flooded with moonlight.     Spirit of Beauty, how could you, whose radiance overbrims the sky, stand hidden behind a candle`s tiny flame? How could a few vain words from a book rise like a mist, and veil her whose voice has hushed the heart of earth into ineffable calm?
