Gandhi In Ireland

GhandiinIrelandIn this Irish monument, Gandhi crouches by the words of William Butler Yeats:

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

What precious dreams do you offer up to the world?

One thought on “Gandhi In Ireland”

  1. That was my Granny’s favorite poem!

    The dream I offer up is a world in which every child is wanted, nurtured, safe, and loved.
