« Coleridge: from "Dejection, an Ode" | Main | Laurence Binyon: From "For the Fallen" (1914) »
Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me
than they are
Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with
your unspoken words
Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking
alone with you
They who love me do not know that their love brings you to
my heart.
--Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941).

I often quote him - my favourite ?
"While God waits for his house to be built of love, men bring stones."

It's beautiful. Do you know where those quotations are from? I haven't been able to find them.
