Salutation of the Dawn
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course,
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement.
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.
By Kalidasa
Self Pity
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough,
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
By D.H.Lawrence
