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
Though lovers be lost, love shall not...My father invented a cure for which there was...What is it indeed that gives us the feeling of elegance...Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better...Everything you want is out there waiting for you...The whole difference between construction and creation...
