The great poet Tagore sang Korea as a lamp of the East of the East. It is true. Please come and see the miracle, pearl and romance of the Orient.
In the golden age of Asia Korea was one of its lamp - bearers
And that lamp is waiting to be lighted once again
For the illumination in the East
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection ;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit ;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Tagore, Rabindranath
The Saint Poet of Indo
In the golden age of Asia Korea was one of its lamp - bearers
And that lamp is waiting to be lighted once again
For the illumination in the East
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high ;
Where knowledge is free ;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls ;
Where words come out from the depth of truth ;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection ;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit ;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

The Saint Poet of Indo
