Religion
Beyond the Mountains, God
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
Here tower the hills of passion and of lust, —
Far off the Infinite!
No path I find and all impassable
Fronts me the hostile height.
Ah, God is lost, my friend. Narayan now
How can I e'er attain?
Thus it appears that all my life, so dear,
I've spent, alas, in vain.
