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.

ReplyDeleteI love the jellyfish - they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Is this the huge aquarium on Sentosa? I visited there a few years ago, had a great day, I remember wearing the batteries out in my camera. I love those neon jelly fish (we call them jelly blubbers in Australia which just sounds more squishy...)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the jelly fish! The first looks artistic. Thanks for sharing from your trip.
ReplyDeleteI love those red jellyfish! I don't think I've ever seen anything like that!
