Rabindranath Tagore - Stray lines

We are like a stray line of a poem, which ever feels that it rhymes with another line and must find it, or miss its own fulfillment. This quest of the unattained is the great impulse in man which brings forth all his best creation. Man seems deeply aware of a separation at the root of his being, he cries to be led across it to a union; and somehow he knows that it is love which can lead him to a love that is final."
- FROM 'Thoughts from Rabindranath Tagore'.
