Progressive Politics and News Articles and Links by Tracy Marks

^{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 the words come out from the depth of truth;}
^{Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward 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.}

from the Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore
Bengali poet and political activist, Nobel Prize winner 1913
