For once be careless, timid traveller,

Question

and utterly lose your way; wide-awake
though you are, be like broad daylight
enticed by and netted in mist.
Do not shun the garden of Lost
Hearts waiting at the end of the wrong
road, where the grass is strewn with
wrecked red flowers, and disconsolate
water heaves in the troubled sea.
Long have you watched over the
store gathered by weary years. Let it
be stripped, with nothing remaining but
the desolate triumph of losing all.



(from "The Fugitive" by Rabindranath Tagore)
