"And joy is everywhere;
It is in the earths green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the sky;
In the reckless exuberance of spring;
In the severe abstinence of grey winter;
In the living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the human figure, noble and upright;
In living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of knowledge;
In fighting evils...
Joy is there everywhere." Rabindranath Tagore
