  • Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore
    Sep 24 2023

    I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
    In life after life, in age after age, forever.
    My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
    That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
    In life after life, in age after age, forever.
    Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,
    Its ancient tale of being apart or together.
    As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
    Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
    You become an image of what is remembered forever.
    You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
    At the heart of time, love of one for another.
    We have played alongside millions of lovers, shared in the same
    Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-
    Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
    Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
    The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
    Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
    The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –
    And the songs of every poet past and forever.

  • The Course Of Life by Friedrich Holderlin
    Sep 24 2023

      You too wanted better things, but love
              forces all of us down.  Sorrow bends us more
              forcefully, but the arc doesn't return to its
              point of origin without a reason.
     
              Upwards or downwards!  In holy Night,
              where mute Nature plans the coming days,
              doesn't there reign in the most twisted Orcus
              something straight and direct?
     
              This I have learned.  Never to my knowledge
              did you, all-preserving gods, like mortal
              masters, lead me providentially
              along a straight path.
     
              The gods say that man should test
              everything, and that strongly nourished
              he be thankful for everything, and understand
              the freedom to set forth wherever he will.
