"Each finite thing I see is a façade;
From its windows looks at me the Illimitable.
In vain was my prison of separate body made;
His occult presence burns in every cell."
"Around him crowded grey and squalid huts
Neighbouring proud palaces of perverted Power ...
A misery haunting splendour pressed those fell
Dun suburbs of the cities of dream-life."
This week is celebrated in India as the week of victory, when Goddess Durga wins a fierce battle over the Demon-king Mahisasura, and King Ram conquers Ravan. Hidden behind these stories is a deep symbolism.
