602_Poem

Live Life-Version 2

Live Life! - My Feelings

poet/ lyricist

more on him here

I was keen to read more of his work but in a physical book form (not e-version).

I came across an old one and it has been a brilliant read till date.

A flower poem

Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.

I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.

Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time.

Rabindranath Tagore

He made his prophets poets; and the more
We feel of poesie do we become
Like God in love and power,—under-makers.
~ Philip James Bailey

“Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.”
