Gitanjali: 8
The child who is decked with prince's robes and who has jewelled
chains round his neck loses all pleasure in his play; his dress hampers
him at every step.
In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust he keeps
himself from the world, and is afraid even to move.
Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keep one shut off
from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of
entrance to the great fair of common human life.
