Chapter 11

The Voice of the Rain Summary

The poet asked the soft falling shower who it was. Strangely enough, the shower gave him an answer. The voice of the rain told him that it was the poem of earth. It is everlasting and perpetual. It is something that cannot be touched. It is born out of the land and the deep sea. It rises upward to heaven. There it gets a different form and is altogether changed. Yet it remains the same. Then it comes down to wash the dry/thirsty tiny particles and dust layers of the world. The rain helps the seeds which lie hidden and unborn under the layer of earth to take a new life. This process of rain is perpetual and goes on by day and night. Rain gives back life to its own source of beginning makes it pure and beautiful. The rain sings a song. This song issues from its birth place. It keeps wandering here and there whether it is paid heed to or not. After accomplishment, the song returns properly with love.
