What about San Francisco?" "What about it?" "Did you like it?" She shrugged. "It was O.K." "Just O.K.?" She laughed. "Good God!" "What?" "You're all alike here." "How so?" he asked. "You demand adoration for the place. You're not happy until everybody swears undying love for every nook and cranny of every precious damn --" "Whoa, missy." "Well, it's true.

আজিকে চাঁদ উঠবে প্রথম রাতে নদীর পারে নারিকেলের বনে, দেবালয়ের বিজন আঙিনাতে পড়বে আলো গাছের ছায়া-সনে । দখিন-হাওয়া উঠবে হঠাত্‍ বেগে, আসবে জোয়ার সঙ্গে তারি ছুটে- বাঁধা তরী টেউয়ের দোলা লেগে ঘাটের পরে মরবে মাথা কুটে । জোয়ার যখন মিশিয়ে যাবে কূলে, থমথমিয়ে আসবে যখন জল, বাতাস যখন পড়বে ঢুলে ঢুলে, চন্দ্র যখন নামবে অস্তাচল, শিথিল তনু তোমার ছোঁওয়া ঘুমে চরণতলে পড়বে লুটে তবে । বসে আছি শয়ন পাতি ভূমে, তোমার এবার সময় হবে কবে ? ↗
