(Vivekananda - his call to the nation, p.37).
Give to me, Give to her, baby
Give to him, baby, Give to one baby
Give to all baby
(C.M. Bowra, Primitive Song, p.169)

Slowly, slowly,
Child, counting your steps
Go away, go away with tears,
With a large heart, with a weary heart,
Without turning your face,
From the house, from the village,
Where your eyes so gaily
Laughed at every comer,
Keep on your heart
And guard well the flower
Of your mother s garden,
The flower which will say to you:
“I am still loved below”
Keep on your heart
And guard well the flower
In memory for ever.

a philosophical speculation for India, it was her life-object to realize
great harmony in feeling and in action” (Rabindranath Tagore,
Sadhana, p.7)

: “There is nothing in the end
which is not in the beginning and the unbroken continuity can be
traced between most of our customs and those of our barbarian
forefathers, who in their turn, received them from their savage
ancestors” (A.C. Haddon, Introduction to Customs of the World).
