ECHOES FROM EAST
AND WEST
TO WHICH ARE ADDED
STRAY NOTES OF MINE OWN
BY
ROBY DATTA
Sunset smites on sunrise: east and west are one,
Face to face in heaven before the sovereign sun.
(Swinburne)
Life is the rose's hope while yet unblown;
The reading of an ever-changing tale;
The light uplifting of a maiden's veil;
A pigeon tumbling in clear summer air;
A laughing schoolboy, without grief or care,
Ridlng the springy branches of an elm.
(Keats).
