Today well-lived (Kalidasa)

Look to this day!
For it is life.
The very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of grown.
The glory of action.
The splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well-lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look therefore you this day.
Such is the salutation of the Dawn.

--Kalidasa, Salutation of the Dawn
(Sanskrit, 6th c. BC)
