Triveni is a journal dedicated to ancient Indian culture, history, philosophy, art, spirituality, music and all sorts of literature. Triveni was founded at Madras in 1927 and since that time various authors have donated their creativity in the form of articles, covering many aspects of public life....
A wooden plough, a brown rug, and a net,
Covering a shining body dark as jet,
Mere bone and sinew, trudging home to sleep
On cowdung floor, a weary, bundled heap.
Yet go his dreams, per chance, to old Lagash,
Left when his venturous forbears took the seas;
And some dull feeling starts again the lash
On those proud towers and lordly terraces.
Of such a race was Adam, doctors say,
And his great sons, Sumeria’s ancient Kings;
And watching him I wonder at the way
Mankind has wandered since those far-off things.
