'Not death, but a summing-up of life,'
Said the village patriarch, as we watched him

Sets in splendour in Himalaya-

Grazing sheep and cattle, while the Collected Works
Of W. Shakespeare lay gathering dust

Of my stepfather to send his office manager
Into the mountains to bring me home!

All these years and looked for you everywhere,
In the mountains, in crowds at distant places,
