" Man is the Measure of himself"


This World Lives Because....
This world lives
because some men
do not eat alone,not even when they get
the sweet ambrosia of the gods;
they've no anger in them,they fear evils other men fear
but never sleep over them;
give their lives for honor,will not touch a gift of whole worlds
if tainted;there's no faintness in their heartsand they do not strivef
or themselves.because such men are,


This world is. - Ilam Peruvaluthi [Purananuru] Translated by AK Ramanujan
