The last voyage..............


The last voyage…………….
The night of tonight is little bit different from the other, it not so monotonous or so dreamy. Tonight  will be the witness of the great migration. All the goodness of the world is in one side another side is full of pain, agony and ever lasting distance to love her.To whom he will select tonight milking light of the universe or uninterrupted darkness of an omnivorous black hole, a constant busyness of life or a cosmic silence. Everybody  was  sleeping in their last nap in the pre autumn`s peaceful slumber except some nocturnal birds, a good number of stars and a swarm of crickets that proved  their existence in shrilly sharp  voice without any interval. The entire planet  which  was  quite well known by everyone,now  took  a look of an absolute necropolis. Few hours ago he walked along the  road with his friends, now the turn to return. Well known lamp posts, lanes, and the demonic shadow of the big trees, they were all looking mysterious.
Now 3.30 am, he had only one hour to meet the first train. He had to crossed a mile and half before people wake up. He walked in a state of grimly gays mood. He remembered his parents, friends,relatives and her lover who used to loved with some other. This incident he could not  tolerated at all, he believed that  love is a blessings of the heaven and fortunate shrine in.
A  great and enormous cyclone hit his heart as well as his mind. And last few days he hardly uttered a word or two.He was perfectly wounded and bloody inside that was not visible. A conflict was going on between the reality of yesterday and the reality of today, a truly devastated, ruined,petrifying life without love. He could not  able to live a while more.
Now he was arrived  on the railway track and could watch the green signals,he walked hurriedly. A little circle of light appeared on the track and it became bigger and bigger, and a ear piercing whistle ranged, again and again……..
He looked back a while for the last time, as if he bid good bye to all and suddenly a tremendous sound that broken the silence of the dawn and mutilated him except the  right hand that hold the photograph of her fiancee………..
Silence prevailed once again.

Women of Christabel and La Belle Dame Sans Merci ......

Women of Christabel and La Belle Dame Sans Merci Women of "Christabel and 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci'" "Christabel," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge was written in 1798. It is about the invasion of a disguised witch, Geraldine into the lives of a lonely baron, Leoline and his daughter, Christabel. Geraldine soon captures the heart of Leoline, and alienates his daughter. "La Belle Dame Sans Merci, a ballad by John Keats is written some years later in 1820. In a similar concept to "Christabel." A supernatural woman, or a siren if you will, captures the heart of a knight, only to leave him her slave for eternity. Although they take on unique plots, the poem and the ballad draw many parallels. "Christabel" and "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" are two similar romantic works thematically taking on the intrigue of women and the power of seduction. First, romanticism is characterized by several details that are evident in both stories. I

MY FATHER'S DEATH AND MY DOUBLE SHAME The time of which I am now speaking is my sixteenth year. My father, as we have seen, was bed-ridden, suffering from a fistula. My mother, an old servant of the house, and I were his principal attendants. I had the duties of a nurse, which mainly consisted in dressing the wound. giving my father his medicine, and compounding drugs whenever they had to be made up at home, Every night I massaged his legs and retired only when he asked me to do so or after he had fallen asleep. I loved to do this service. I do not remember ever having neglected it. All the time at my disposal, after the performance of the daily duties, was divided between school and attending on my father. I would only go out for an evening walk either when he permitted me or when he was feeling well. This was also the time when my wife was expecting a baby,- a circumstance which, as I can see today, meant a double shame for me. For one thing I did not restrain myself, as I s

Sophocles the great dramatist...

Image
Born in 495 B.C. about a mile northwest of Athens, Sophocles was to become one of the great playwrights of the golden age. The son of a wealthy merchant, he would enjoy all the comforts of a thriving Greek empire. He studied all of the arts. By the age of sixteen, he was already known for his beauty and grace and was chosen to lead a choir of boys at a celebration of the victory of Salamis. Twelve years later, his studies complete, he was ready to compete in the City Dionysia--a festival held every year at the Theatre of Dionysus in which new plays were presented. In his first competition, Sophocles took first prize--defeating none other than Aeschylus himself. More than 120 plays were to follow. He would go on to win eighteen first prizes, and he would never fail to take at least second. An accomplished actor, Sophocles performed in many of his own plays. In the Nausicaa or The Women Washing Clothes , he performed a juggling act that so fascin
