And, the Sanskrit quote please [begin quote] Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course, Lie all the verities and realities of your existence: The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation to the dawn. - Kalidas (Originally in Sanskrit) [End quote] The webpage claims this as K.'s. Is it too liberal a translation? (From Sakuntalam??)
