- “When the heart is hard and parched up, come upon me with a shower of mercy. When grace is lost from life, come with a burst of song.

When my beggarly heart sits crouched, shut up in a corner, break open the door, my king, and come with the ceremony of a king. When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust, O thou holy one, thou wakeful, come with thy light and thy thunder.” Rabindranath Tagore
