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.
So beautiful! I can't remember the last time I visited the zoo, but I do remember that I find observing the animals to be a really relaxing experience.
ReplyDeleteIt is isn't it? What I loved about this zoo was that the animals weren't really caged in- so it was more of a monitored reserve.
DeleteI'm glad I saw the fence in the second picture, as it was worrying me that you were seeing these animals in the wild!

I don't think I've seen anything in the wild other than peacocks, elephants, deer and a few birds.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Deb!
Gorgeous animal photos, especially the white tiger. So regal.
ReplyDeleteMy Saturday Snapshot post features hiking through a tunnel.
Isn't it just the picture of dominance?
DeleteBeautiful! I love the tortoise! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a tortoise in a while so it was great looking through these pictures!
DeleteWow! More lovely pics. I love the tiger lying in the grass and I love that the animals seem to have so much space!
ReplyDeleteIt's a much better zoo than most zoos. They aren't really in cages at all!
