"I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers!
I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door
---and I give up all claims to my house.
I only ask for last kind words from you.
We were neighbors for long,
but I received more than I could give.
Now the day has dawned
and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out.
A summons has come and I am ready for my journey."
~ Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 ~
Not quite what Rabindranath Tagore had in mind ... but our time in The Netherlands is coming to an end much too soon .... this was the start of a short vacation exploring areas we thought we would have lots of time to see. I will be posting shots from our trip in batches over the next few days when I find time. Check below for photos of the historic and charming Dordrecht.

This year, the festival will offer plays in some 26 languages including Tulu and Mizu with participation by some 2,500 artistes from India and and abroad.
Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.
- Rabindranath Tagore

Week 39 - Sunset
I lucked out this week. I've just moved up to Macclesfield and I have a lovely bedroom in a huge house, and I have a westerly facing window.
The sun collapses behind the hills and the houses at an astonising rate and you don't get very long to admire one set of colours before the scene changes again. The clouds coming in provided something interesting for the soft light to bounce off, and the silhouette of the trees and the rooftops and the church tower all seem to create a seemingly dynamic element to the scene.
As I don't need to provide you with details of what a sunset is, I'll leave you with a quote as a substitute:
"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky." - Rabindranath Tagore
Oggi alla fine del giorno
il tramonto posò le sue perle
sui fini e nerì capelli della sera
ed io le ho nascoste
come una collana senza filo
dentro il cuore.
Nel silenzio il cigno dorme .
sulla riva destra del fiume
e questo tramonto
attraverso il cielo luminoso di stelle
è venuto a toccare
la mia umile fronte:
sopra queste acque tacite e calme
ha iniziato la traversata tra astri e stelle:
ha steso
il suo manto d'oro
sulla soglia della notte
che dorme tranquilla:
e infine lungo le vie dell'arsa,
sopra il carro di un nero destriero
s'allontanerà facendo scintille:
ha lasciato soltanto un tocco
sulla fronte di un poeta.
Nel tuo infinito mai s'era visto
un tramonto così,
né più ritornerà.

"Supposing I became a chanpa flower, just for fun, and grew on a
branch high up that tree, and shook in the wind with laughter and
danced upon the newly budded leaves, would you know me, mother?"
~ Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 ~
From: "The Chanpa Flower"
I am not sure what this flower is but I think someone mentioned it might be a chanpa flower. They are scented anyway.

And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere.
"Joy," by Rabindranath Tagore
Indian Poet
Have you not heard his silent steps?
He comes, comes, ever comes.
Every moment and every age, every day and every
night he comes, comes, ever comes.
-----Rabindranath Tagore

Where the mind is without fear and the head held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
- Rabindranath Tagore

A bronze bust of India's Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was inaugurated in the Literary Garden of prestigious Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven in Belgium on his birthday May 7, 2015. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, welcomed the KU Leuven's gesture of honoring Tagore; who besides being the first non-European to receive Nobel Prize in literature, also composed the national anthems of India and Bangladesh, authored Gitanjali and established India's Visva Bharati University.
Calling it a step in the positive direction, Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged other European universities to honor the intellectuals of East, thus bridging the East-West gap, which was the need of the hour.
Founded in 1425 by Pope Martin V, Belgium's largest and renowned research-intensive university KU Leuven with a mission of "providing high-quality interdisciplinary research and education with a Catholic signature" has over 41,000 students. Rik Torfs is the Rector of this female-majority university.

break open the door, my king,
and come with the ceremony of a king.
