Emotions And Sentiments Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Emotions And Sentiments

Rating: 3.5


Blaise Pascal or a friend of his remarked
That theatre is dangerous because it excites
Emotions in us, which we cannot resolve,
Except by dramatic action. True it may be,
But emotions need a bit of exercise sometimes,
Don't they? Our humdrum life may otherwise
Put them in atrophy. Is that the reason why
Some people weaken emotions to sentiments?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I admire the Thoughts of Pascal mainly because he makes
me think out situations for myself in the current context
of my life.

We have to rethink, recover, restate the wise sayings which form part of our literature and parlance.

We have to rethink, recover, revise in our own later context, all the great proverbs that are embedded in our parlance.
