IN
LOVE WITH DARKNESS IT is all well, it is all well: If a speck of light from out of the sky Just flitted into my room, It were indeed a thing of unbounded joy. But when the whole earth Lies enveloped in darkness, I for myself need no light, Never into the tribe of jackals Would a stag enter, its horns clipped and shorn. I worship light And I sing to Darkness: This is no contradiction. For the life I would fain touch Still lingers on darkness' edge And I must love Darkness To reach out to that life. Gopal Bhowmik
