Inspiration
And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky,
Whereunder crawling cooped we live and die,
Lift not your hands to It for help—for It
As impotently moves as you or I.
An excerpt from Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam
The saree inspires dignity of pleasure in just living today. A suitable drape befitting an officious mood or a samar.
