Terror Is Thy NameA poem written by Swami Vivekananda entitled 'Kali the Mother'The stars are blotted out, The clouds are covering clouds. It is darkness vibrant, sonant. In the roaring, whirling wind Are the souls of a million lunatics Just loosed from the prison-house, Wrenching trees by the roots, Sweeping all from the path. The sea has joined the fray, And swirled up mountain-waves, To reach the pitchy sky. The flash of lurid light Reveals on every side A thousand, thousand shades Of Death begrimed and black- Scattering plagues and sorrows, Dancing mad with joy, Come, Mother, come! For terror is Thy name, Death is in thy breath, And every shaking step Destoys a world for e'er. Thou Time, the All-destroyer! Come, O Mother, come! Who dares misery love, And hug the form of Death, Dance in destruction's dance To him the Mother comes. |
