A quote from "The Postmaster"

"O poor, unthinking human heart! Error will not go away, logic and reason are slow to penetrate. We cling with both arms to false hope, refusing to believe the weightiest proofs against it, embracing it with all our strength. In the end it escapes, ripping our veins and draining our heart's blood; until, regaining consciousness, we rush to fall into snares of delusion all over again." Rabindranath Tagore , The Postmaster

It's not a poem. But a beautiful creation ,nevertheless, from one of the most vivid, evocative short stories by Tagore "The Postmaster".
