Message Ethereal...Part 3 Comments

Going great...the last stanza is so excellent and intense...it keeps us asking for more! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

hello sir, you know at school we studied this poetic work called 'Salalihini Sandeshaya' by Venerable Sri Rahula...it is message too...sandeshaya means message in sinhala...there the messenger is 'Salihiniya'..he is a bird, i don't really know the English name for him...that one starts very much like this...there the bird has to carry a message to a god..I think it is for vishnu, (not certain) ..he has to carry a message to that particular god asking for a for a child birth to the king's wife at that time......there the first thing the poet does is praise the messenger...the bird..that one is very beautiful..... that part is called dhootha varananva(Praise for the messenger) ........the poet pays a keen interest to the messenger, personifies the messenger... he exaggerates the beauty to an extent that the reader gets mesmerized by the beautiful language i see this is very much like that sir, after that the poet describes the environment that the messenger has to travel.... you v done a great job indeed..... I wish I can translate some works by Sinhala scholars, but my language is still not that rich enough I guess..and i ll be doing a great injustice if i fail in bringing out the same value of the original piece well done...thanks for this one

Teacher, you are swelling my left-halve mind with the sweet juice of the Biva fruit, by way of your right-halve dominance of image creative thought! All i have to do now, is look out the window when i wake in the morning...and if i see a blue-lotus, i know you have the majique, and i will be forever your student! LOL! Great Write, Kesav, indeed... FjR
