While
I have nothing important to report at this moment (except that I visited
Chennai for the first time recently and fell in love with Mahabalipuram!)… I am
very, very excited to be visiting a country that has the most special of places
in my heart… almost a Mecca of sorts. I don’t know how I have managed to visit
so many places on earth but not be here yet… as they say, maybe the universe
has to find the right time and right reasons, and it all comes together more
brilliantly than you would imagine. The fact that my first destination will be
Stratford-upon-Avon… I mean, can it be a bigger blessing than that? The title
of my blog says it all! J
Since I left you,
mine eye is in my mind
Since
I left you, mine eye is in my mind,
And that which governs me to go about
Doth part his function, and is partly blind,
Seems seeing, but effectually is out;
For it no form delivers to the heart
Of bird, of flower, or shape which it doth latch;
Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,
Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch;
For if it see the rud'st or gentlest sight,
The most sweet-favour or deformed'st creature,
The mountain or the sea, the day or night,
The crow or dove, it shapes them to your feature.
Incapable of more, replete with you,
My most true mind thus maketh mine untrue.
~William
Shakespeare
