Dighay Hothat (At Digha, all of a sudden)-Nirendranath Chakravarty

As if with a sudden sweep she tugged the landscape off-

The Sea.

The sky, she pulled it down and rolled it open on the ground-

The Sea.

Or as from its hiding

Right before one’s eyes, a deer

Struck by a bullet shot, unanticipated

Leaps high up in the air,

Likewise from deep beneath

Penetrating through all its sheaths

All of a sudden, across the earth   

Up sprang before my eyes- the Sea.
