“Love’s Question” And is this all true, My ever-loving friend? That the lightning-flash of the light in my eyes Makes the clouds in your heart explode and blaze. Is this true? That my sweet lips are red as a blushing new bride, My ever-loving friend, Is this true? Extract from ‘Love’s Question’, Rabindranath Tagore. “Selected Poems” trans. Willian Radice Penguin Books, 2005
