Louis-Ferdinand Céline:

"Since we are nothing but packages of tepid, half-rotted viscera, we shall always have trouble with sentiment.”

W H Auden:

"But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."

Duniya Banane Wale...

The other day I was watching, one more time, my favourite film 'Teesri Kasam' (तीसरी क़सम, 1966).

What a journey! I wish I were a bullock to participate in it.

A song there asks a question:

"Duniya Banane Wale Kya Tere Man Mein Samaayi
Kaaheko Duniya Banayi
"?


Artist: Sam Gross, The New Yorker

(For selection of pictures by Mr. Gross go to Cartoonbank.com by using this link.)

If this is true, the lyricist may want to ask this question:

"If you knew you might not have time to look after it, why did you create it in the first place?"!
