Ardeshir Khabardar

“ Like clouds, are lifted by Thy grace;
Take me in Love’s eternity.
And hold me in Thy firm embrace !
Human love is love and grief:
Love the plant and grief the flower;
In Thy heart I find relief.
Where Love and Joy grow in one bower. ”

“ This gives one the feeling that, how­ ever fluently and sweetly he may sing in English of the joy of human love and Divine vision, one is still, in his English poems, only on the threshold of his genius. ”
