Second Herald. Who is he? Is he any kinsman of yours?
Second Citizen. Not at all. He is just a cousin of our village chief's father-in-law, and he does not even live in the same part of our village with us.
Second Herald. Just so: he quite looks the seventh cousin of somebody's father-in-law, and his understanding appears also to bear the stamp of uncle-in-lawhood.
Kumbha. Alas, my friends, many a bitter sorrow has given my poor mind a twist before it has become like this. It is only the other day that a King came and paraded the streets, with as many titles in front of him as the drums that made the town hideous by their din, . . . What did I not do to serve and please him! I rained presents on him, I hung about him like a beggar--and in the end I found the strain on my resources too hard to bear.

A decent play
It's a nice play that seems to be inspired by the Shakespearean style. I didn't find much substance in the first half but the second half grabbed my attention. It has an interesting spiritual element to it.
So, true to my word, I'm reading as much Tagore as I can possibly can.
This play, titled "The King of The Dark Chamber," revolves around a mysterious, unseen, omniscient king, who is both benevolent and efficient. His strange reticence towards being seen causes most of the drama in the story, rattli
‘Raja’ or ‘The King of the Dark Chamber’ deals with association between God and man. Using tangible metaphors, the nonfigurative perception of God has been made quite palpable. The premise of this play is sombrely remarkable. It is a glorious effort to sensationalize the clandestine dealings of divi
Connecting physical world to the spiritual in a subtle, effortless way, this play is one of Tagore's best.
‘A fancy comes to me-that desire can never attain its object-it need never attain it.’
This play shows a symbolic and profound meaning about God. Many characters express different concepts about God.
