Stray Birds Excerpt
Short Summary: Stray Birds presents short poetic insights that capture fleeting moments of truth and beauty. These aphorisms blend simplicity with depth, illustrating Tagore's mastery of spiritual observation.
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
Let this be my last word, that I trust in thy love.
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
