Heed not the night; _x000D__x000D_A summer lodge amid the wild is mine, _x000D__x000D_'Tis shadowed by the tulip-tree,_x000D__x000D_'Tis mantled by the vine.
Oh that it were with me_x000D__x000D_As with the flower;_x000D__x000D_Blooming on its own tree_x000D__x000D_For butterfly and bee_x000D__x000D_Its summer morns:_x000D__x000D_That I might bloom mine hour _x000D__x000D_A rose in spite of thorns._x000D__x000D__x000D_Oh that my work were done_x000D__x000D_As birds' that soar_x000D__x000D_Rejoicing in the sun:_x000D__x000D_That when my time is run_x000D__x000D_And daylight too,_x000D__x000D_I so might rest once more_x000D__x000D_Cool with refreshing dew.
Between the dusk of a summer night_x000D__x000D_And the dawn of a summer day,_x000D__x000D_We caught at a mood as it passed in flight,_x000D__x000D_And we bade it stoop and stay._x000D__x000D_And what with the dawn of night began_x000D__x000D_With the dusk of day was done;_x000D__x000D_For that is the way of woman and man,_x000D__x000D_When a hazard has made them one._x000D__x000D_Arc upon arc, from shade to shine,_x000D__x000D_The World went thundering free;_x000D__x000D_And what was his errand but hers and mine -_x000D__x000D_The lords of him, I and she?_x000D__x000D_O, it's die we must, but it's live we can,_x000D__x000D_And the marvel of earth and sun_x000D__x000D_Is all for the joy of woman and man_x000D__x000D_And the longing that makes them one.
The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine.

In this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. In awareness there is no end in view to be gained, and there is no becoming, the 'me' and the 'mine' not being given the continuity.

In Hindu societies, especially overprotected patriarchal families like mine, daughters are not at all desirable. They are trouble. And a mother who, as mine did, has three daughters, no sons, is supposed to go and hang herself, kill herself, because it is such an unlucky kind of motherhood to have.
I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.
Why was this heart of mine formed with so much sensibility! Or why not my fortune adapted to its impulses! Tenderness without a capacity of relieving only makes the man who feels it more wretched than the object which sues for assistance.
