Quote of the Day - [3]

[Arc]

Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.

Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch-grass;
Yet this will go onward the same
Though Dynasties pass.

Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
War's annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.

People who have what they want are fond of telling people who haven't what they want that they really don't want it.

[Arc]

ফিরে এসো সুরঞ্জনা : নক্ষত্রের রুপালি আগুন ভরা রাতে;
ফিরে এসো এই মাঠে, ঢেউয়ে;
ফিরে এসো হৃদয়ে আমার;
দূর থেকে দূরে – আরো দূরে
যুবকের সাথে তুমি যেয়োনাকো আর।

_ Jibanananda Das

English translation:
Come back Suranjana; in the night lit up with the silvern stelar fire;
Come back to these fields, these waves;
Come back to the heart of mine;
from far to farther-- far away
with that youth go ye no more.
