Kanchi Monologue from The King of the Dark Chamber

From The King of the Dark Chamber by Rabindranath Tagore

any · anguished · 42 sec

Your King has sent me on the road. (GRANDFATHER: That is a settled habit with him.) And now, no one can get a glimpse of him. (GRANDFATHER: That too is one of his amusements.) But how long more will he elude me like this? When nothing could make me acknowledge him as my King, he came all of a sudden like a terrific tempest--God knows from where--and scattered my men and horses and banners in one wild tumult: but now, when I am seeking the ends of the earth to pay him my humble homage, he is nowhere to be seen.
