The Journey of My Life (extract) Rabindranath Tagore (Bengali poet 1861-1941)
At every turning of my life I came across good friends, friends who stood by me even when time raced by me. Farewell, farewell my friend. I smile and bid you goodbye. No, shed no tears for I need them not. All I need is your smile. If you feel sad do think of me for that’s what I’ll like. When you live in the hearts of those you love remember then, you never die.

Let no one weep for me or celebrate my funeral with mourning, for I still live as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.
