Dance, my heart: O dance to-day with joy!
The hymn of Love filleth the days and the nights with music,
and the world hearkeneth to the melody.
Mad with joy, Life and Death dance to the rhythm of this music.
The hills and the sea and the earth dance;
The world of man danceth in laughter and tears.
-- Ramakrishna (trans. S. Nikhilananada)
(in Poetry of the Spirit, edited by Alan Jacobs)
