Dedication

If you shut your door to all errors, Truth will be shut out.
— Rabindranath Tagore

♦

The song that I came to sing remains
unsung to this day.
I have spent my days in stringing and
in unstringing my instrument.
The time has not come true, the words
have not been rightly set; only there is the
agony of wishing in my heart.
The blossom has not opened; only the
wind is sighing by.
— Rabindranath Tagore (from “Gitanjali”)

“If enough affection can not be,
Let the more loving one be me.”
— W.H. Auden
