People talk of Dom Moraes,
But never did I like,
A smoker and a drinker,
A womanizer,
...
In the theatre of life
Hear I the music of silence,
Life's stage not,
But the theatre of silence,
...
Classicism is my base,
The base of my poetry
As I cannot think without it
And by classicism I mean to say,
...
Sitakant Mahapatra,
An Oriya poet of Orissa,
Orissan myth, populace, art, culture,
Thought, society and tradition,
...
He is editing a literary journal,
I mean a small magazine
To be a poet,
A critic,
...
Having married a dramagirl
For whom life is but a stage of a theatre
And man and woman artistes
And this life a play,
...
Thank You, God, I could not be
A Ph.D. guide in India,
Neither an external examiner nor an internal examiner
Though had to be,
...
Apni bibi ko cchupa ke,
Dusron ki bibi pe
Nazar na lagao.
...
I saw and fell in love with her,
At the first glance,
The first sight of hers,
Love was born between her and me,
...
Dom Moraes,
Whatever think you about you yourself,
But you not an Englishman,
But a Goan Christian.
