Descriptive Text
Borobudur is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang, Central
Java, Indonesia, and the world’s largest Buddhist temple.
The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three
circular, topped by a central dome.
It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated
inside a perforated stupa.
Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the
temple design follows Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the
Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of
attaining Nirvana.
The temple demonstrates the influences of Gupta art that reflects
India’s influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and
elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian.
 Perfect Woman by William Wordsworth
She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleam’d upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moment’s ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like twilight’s, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and waylay.
I saw her upon nearer view,
A Spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature’s daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly plann’d,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.
