Mercy Pity Peace

The Image Divine

To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love
All pray in their distress
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.

For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face,
And love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.

Then every man, of every Time,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine,
Love, Mercy Pity, Peace.

And all must love the human form,
In heathen, Turk, or Jew,
Where Mercy, Love, and Pity, dwell
There God is dwelling too.

What is beautiful in the Bronx today?

Nice France

The grass always looked greener on the other side of the atlantic. Or is it actually?



Endless Time

Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.

Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
Thou knowest how to wait.

Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.

We have no time to lose,
and having no time we must scramble for a chance.
We are too poor to be late.

And thus it is that time goes by
while I give it to every querulous man who claims it,
and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.

At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate be shut;
but I find that yet there is time.


Rabindranath Tagore
