If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. - Rabindranath Tagore

I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. 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.

My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
