Tagore : Gitanjali - ketchim - 06-01-2012
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken
up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the
depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its
arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has
not lost its way into the dreary desert
sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by
Thee into ever widening thought and action –
Into that heaven of freedom, my
Father, let my country awake.

By Sir Shridath Ramphal
I hope the advent of electronic ‘readers’ does not mean that there will no longer be books for authors to inscribe to
their friends on publication.
Some of my most treasured books are of that kind ; among them, none more treasured than the copy :
[center] From Columbus to Castro: The History of the Caribbean 1492 – 1969,
inscribed as follows:
My dear Sonny
We are both labourers in the vineyard.
It is in this spirit that I send you this book.
Bill

Sir Shridath ‘Sonny’ Ramphal QC served as Commonwealth Secretary-General for 15 years, from 1975 to 1990.
He previously served as the attorney general and foreign minister of Guyana :

That was 1970.
“Billâ€, of course, was Prime Minister Eric Williams.

The vineyard was economic integration.
West Indians were nurturing Caribbean unity.......... ::redcard::
