  To His Coy Mistress  by Andrew Marvell Had we but world enough and time, This coyness, lady, were no crime. We would sit down, and think which way To walk, and pass our long love’s day. Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide Of Humber would complain. I would Love you ten years before the flood, And you should, if you please, refuse Till the conversion of the Jews. My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires and more slow; An hundred years should go to praise Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze; Two hundred to adore each breast, But thirty thousand to the rest; An age at least to every part, And the last age should show your heart. For, lady, you deserve this state, Nor would I love at lower rate.        But at my back I always hear Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity. Thy beauty shall no more be found; Nor,...

मराठी भाषांतर  एकमेकांवर प्रेम करा - खलील जिब्रान  एकमेकांवर प्रेम करा, परंतू नका करू प्रेमाचा करार. त्याऐवजी बनू द्या त्याला आपल्या आत्म्याच्या किनारी फिरणारा समुद्र. एकमेकांचा कप भरा, परंतू नका पिऊ एकाच कपातून. एकमेकांना आपल्या भाकरीतील तुकडा द्या, पण खाऊ नका तीच भाकरी. एकत्र गा आणि नृत्य करा आणि आनंदी रहा, परंतु स्वतंत्र असू द्या तुमच्यातील प्रत्येकजण. अगदी सतारीच्या तारादेखील स्वतंत्र असतात तरी थरथरतात त्या मात्र एकाच संगीताने. आपली हृदये द्या, परंतु एकमेकांना सांभाळण्यासाठी नको. फक्त आयुष्याच्या हातात असू शकतात हृदये आपली. आणि एकत्र उभे रहा, तरीही जास्त जवळ जवळ नको . कारण मंदिराचे खांब वेगवेगळ्या ठिकाणी असतात उभे. आणि ओक वृक्ष आणि सरू वाढत नाहीत एकमेकांच्या सावलीत. ******************* Love One Another by Khalil Gibran Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup, but drink not ...
