Dungeon

He whom I enclose with my name is weeping in this dungeon.
I am ever busy building this wall all around; and as this wall goes up into the sky day by day I lose sight of my true being in its dark shadow.
I
take pride in this great wall, and I plaster it with dust and sand

lest a least hole should be left in this name;
and for all the care I take I lose sight of my true being.

by Rabindranath Tagore
