miles to go before I sleep

All of sudden this poem of Robert Frost that we learn many years back came to my head

The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep

I shall do what little I could

 

This is my small contribution to the English blog world. A Chinese proverb says that 'It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.'  We all agree. We don’t have candles but still want to be lightened. I have an earthen lamp in hand. A simple earthen lamp. I found it accidently when I was browsing some books at a second hand book shop.  The lamp has been kept in this poem.

''Who will take up my work?''

Said the setting sun.

Earth kept silent like a picture.

But there was an earthen lamp

That said

"My lord I shall do what little I could".

I believe this was written by Thagore. I owe whoever the poet very much for giving me the name for this blog.
