THE CYCLE OF SPRING

And the outside people will consider you queer.

Chandra

But we shall crown you, Dada, with a crown of new leaves.

We shall put a garland of jasmine round your neck.

And there will be no one else, except ourselves, who will know your true worth.


The Song of the Festival of Spring

[In which all the persons of the drama, not excepting Sruti-bhushan, unite on the main stage in the dance of Spring.]

Come and rejoice.
For April is awake.
Fling yourselves into the flood of being.
Bursting the bondage of the past.
