The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance. I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.
I'd be baking on stormy days like that, too (even though the photos might have been taken on entirely separate days, let me play out the fantasy of cinnamon smells in the house) ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes- they were taken on a separate day, but we did bake the same cupcakes on Friday. They smelled delicious!
DeleteEnjoy your weekend!
I love the variety of photos you've posted. Those muffins look delicious, and the sketch of shorts is well done.
ReplyDeleteMy Saturday Snapshot is HERE.
I'll be sure to check your post out! Thanks- the muffins disappeared in less than 2 days!
DeleteThose muffins made me hungry....love the drawing, too. Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
ReplyDeleteOn my way to read yours! Thanks!
DeleteThose skies are so dramatic! I love storms--as long as I'm inside!
ReplyDeleteThey were! I'm not a big fan of storms- but they did help bring down the temperatures here for a day or two....
DeleteEnjoy the weekend!
thank you for stopping by. The sky does look dark and stormy. Was it followed by a thunderstorm.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was! The effects of the storm lasted much longer than those of the rain though!
DeleteWhat a great selection of photos. The stormy sky is very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI like the stormy sky - very atmospheric. I did a post, then dashed off to London to see my younger daughter before the link was there to use, but my post is at https://thebooktrunkblog.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to check it out! Hope you enjoyed London!
DeleteBaking is such a great thing to do on a stormy day! The good thing is that the dark skies don't last forever.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. Gloomy weather calls for sweet treats!
