Rabindranath Tagore – Joy

Rabindranath Tagore (May 07, 1861 – August 07, 1941)

that life was joy.
I awoke and saw
that life was duty.
I worked — and behold,
duty was joy.

Wise Poets

When power corrupts, poetry cleanses... We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth. — John F. Kennedy
