Jibanananda Das Comments

Bowing down before you to risen up my eternal soul

You are a world in poet...

You are the joy of life (Jibon + Anonda= Joy of life) You are the best ballad in bengali mind. You are the defining essence of modernism in bengali poetry at that time. Today, tomorrow and for ever Every moment we will and we are shairing your moments of sorrow and moments of joy. Dr. Mridha.

He is the Yeats of Bangladesh.

It's sad that Das has never won the recognition his talent deserves world-wide. Apart from being among the most gifted expressionists of the last hundred years, his best work also had elements of seething anger and ruthless destruction of the like almost unmatched for the last hundred years. It only adds to his obscurity that his poetry is almost intranslatable, and he must, as a result, remain as loved and honoured as he is only by the select few who speak in the same language in which he wrote.
