As a matter of fact, it was purely accidental that I came down in
the woods. I am reasonably certain that I had no more control
then than a thing in a parcel. I remember I felt a sort of

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Golden Threshold by Sarojini Naidu: A caste-mark on the azure brows of Heaven,
The golden moon burns sacred, solemn, bright
The winds are dancing in the forest-temple,
And swooning at the holy feet of Night.
Hush! in the silence mystic voices sing
And make the gods their incense-offering.

Here in this wood let us fashion a funeral pyre
Of fallen white petals and leaves that are mellow and red,
Here let us burn them in noon's flaming torches of fire.
