Rabindranath Tagore:
I love you in countless ways, and my infatuation will forever weave a garland of songs for you - dear, accept my devotion and hang it on your breast in various ways for generations to come. Many of the old love stories I have heard are filled with the joy of reunion and the sadness of parting. Looking at the beginningless past, I see you like the unforgettable Big Dipper penetrating through the darkness of the years and coming to me slowly. Starting from the heart of the prehistoric era, you and I canoe down the river. You and I are playing among hundreds of millions of lovers. In the bitter tears at separation and the sweet shyness at reunion, old love gives birth to new ideas. The old love has now turned into dust under your feet. All the desires, sorrows and joys of the soul, all love legends, and the lyrics of love songs written by historical poets are all integrated into your love.
