Where the mind is without fear

In response to my hate mail, I am publishing a poem by Rabindra Nath Tagore.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by
narrow
domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening
thought
and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.


Rabindranath Tagore
