Welcome to Litsy!

Tagore is apparently a famed writer and poet from East Bengal, now #Bangladesh. I did like some of these stories, but overall I found this collection hard to get into. It‘s a probably I definitely have with short stories, so this may well be me. Also, the audio is done by volunteer and wide-ranging in quality. That aspect wavered between interesting and annoying for me.

“To the artist a ruin may be a beautiful object, but houses are built not only for the contemplation of artist, but that people may live therein, so they have to be kept in repair in spite of artistic susceptibilities. It is all very well for you to idealise widowhood from your distance but you should remember that within widowhood there is a sensitive human heart, throbbing with pain n desire”

Poetic and poignant stories. #rereading #holidayread
