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.
Such great pictures! Rome is one of my favorite places on the planet!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I have never been to Rome, but it is on the list.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the fountain. I visited Rome many years ago and would love to go back.

I'd love to go back as well! It was so crowded in the summer, and the lines for the tourist destinations were so long that we never really got to do any "wandering"!
DeleteI've never been to Italy but it is one I'd love to see for many reasons. Photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks-photo credits go to my parents for this one. I've just recently started taking pictures myself, so most of my posts about trips before 2015 will feature my dad's photography!
DeleteWow awesome pics! I'd love to visit Rome someday.
