Rabindranath Tagore at the Seashore

“On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children.”

Rabindranath Tagore, “On the Seashore” 1.6 (1918)
