Setting the Tone

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt

Let It Be

If it's your blessing glowing bright
Amid my grief’s darkest night –
Let it be;

If only death brings me near
Your death-less sphere –
Let it be;

If it’s for my pain to burn
To light up my prayers’ urn,
Let it be;

If it’s only my tearful eye
Can see how loved am I,
Let it be.


- A translation from a popular Bengalee song
