I can't understand Urdu, Bahasa or Russian, but when the Pakistani Faiz, the Indonesian Rendra and the Russian Rosdentvensky declaim, I can feel the living throb of rhythm and music, the warmth and passion of their poetry, as do the hundreds, not a mere roomful, of poetry lovers in the audience.
More quotes and aphorisms
Where there is no property there is no injustice...I moved from a mountain with one traffic light...The woman who appeals to a man's vanity...Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find...Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where...Better be wise by the misfortunes of others...
