The Home and the World (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Home and the World

Mother, to-day there comes back to my mind the vermilion mark 1 at the parting of your hair, the sari 2 which you used to wear, with its wide red border, and those wonderful eyes of yours, full of depth and peace. They came at the start of my life's journey, like the first streak of dawn, giving me golden provision to carry me on my way.

The sky which gives light is blue, and my mother's face was dark, but she had the radiance of holiness, and her beauty would put to shame all the vanity of the beautiful.
