Quotes from Tagore

I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument, while the song I came to sing remains unsung.

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.

I will sit in the pupil of your eyes and that will carry your sight into the heart of the things

I understand the voice of your stars and the silence of your trees.

Roots are branches in the earth. Branches are roots in the air.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever.
