Jibanananda Das

Jibanananda Das (Bengali: জীবনানন্দ দাশ, /dʒɪbɒnʌnɒndɔː dʌʃ/) (18 February 1899 – 22 October 1954) was a Bengali poet, writer, novelist and essayist. Quotes "Into the half light and shadow go I. Within my head Not a dream, but some sensation works its will. Not a dream, not peace, not love, A sensation born in my very being. I cannot escape it For it puts its hand in mine, And all else pales to insignificance--futile, so it seems."Clinton B Seely http://www.parabaas.com/jd/articles/seely_scent_intro.shtml The Scent of Sunlight: Poems of Jibanananda Das, translated by Clinton Seely Parabaas.com 5 May 2012 I am a weary heart surrounded by life's frothy ocean.To me she gave a moment's peace--Banalata Sen from Natore.''' Always another path you seek: today I seek no more. I found in that void on the far shore something to hold at last In my own heart, own mind. . . .
