“Whoever has done or willed too much let him drink from this deep cup a long draught of life and youth. Everything is narrow in the West—Greece is small and I stifle, Judea is dry and I pant. Let me look forward to lofty Asia, and the profound East for a while. There lies my great poem, as vast as the Indian Ocean, blessed, gilded with the sun, the book of divine harmony wherein is no dissonance. A serene peace reigns there in the midst of conflict, an infinite sweetness, a bound fraternity, which spreads overall living things, an ocean of love, of pity, of clemency.” These were the observations of Michelet, the French historian about the Ramayana as early as A.D. 1884. There can be no truer description of the work in which lies enshrined the very soul of India. vedictruth.blogspot.in/2013/12/valmiki-immortal-bard.html
