Miscellaneous Verses

The Proud Soul’s Choice

But one God to worship, hermit Shiv or puissant Vishnu high;

But one friend to clasp, the first of men or proud Philosophy;

But one home to live in, Earth’s imperial city or the wild;

But one wife to kiss, Earth’s sweetest face or Nature, God’s own child.

Either in your world the mightiest or my desert solitary.
