Allow me to quote Robert Frost. 1874–1963

Fire and Ice
==============
(From Harper’s Magazine, December 1920.)


SOME say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
---

The only decision that the great indian janta (= the people) is left to take is whether it'll be the fire or the ice.
The means might be unknown but the end is in sight.

tell you what,
here is a sample by her:

Morning Song
==============
A diamond of a morning
Waked me an hour too soon;
Dawn had taken in the stars
And left the faint white moon.

O white moon, you are lonely,
It is the same with me,
But we have the world to roam over,
Only the lonely are free.

Its from the book Fire and Shadow. Try a copy at the Gutenberg archives, or send me a mail at [email protected] and i'll mail it back to you. The plain text is around 54KB.

And I am not a student of Literature. The formal course I'm studying is engineering. ;0) So i dont know much about the history of Sara.
Just her poems.
Just her poems smiley - fish
