\nWhich alters when it alteration finds,
\nOr bends with the remover to remove:
\nO no; it is an ever-fixed mark,
\nThat looks on tempests, and is never shaken;

\nWhose worth\u2019s unknown, although his height be taken.
\nLOVE\u2019s not Time\u2019s fool,\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nRabindranath Tagore, Nobel awardee in literature<\/strong><\/h2>\n
