Poetry Quote by Sunil Gangopadhyay — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“প্রতি সন্ধ্যেবেলা”

“Tonight, he began to think of words, words came from some well in him, lists of words that arranged themselves into poems, "The Death Mask," "The Fairfax Wall," "A Number of Cats." He could hear, or feel, or even almost see, the patterns made by a voice he didn't yet know, but which was his own. The poems were not careful observations, nor yet incantations, nor yet reflections on life and death, though they had elements of all these. He added another, "Cats' Cradle," as he saw he had things to say which he could say about the way shapes came and made themselves. Tomorrow he would buy a new notebook and write them down. Tonight he would write down enough, the mnemonics.”

“The assignment was to fall in love.”

“When the hatred stops will the love begin? When there is no more greed will there then be peace?”

“I Go Down To The Shore”

“He wanders, like a day-appearing dream,”

“All a poet can do today is warn.”
