Vikram Seth Frasi e Citazioni

“Di sotto il padre di Sue attizza il fuoco:
"Non son vere gemme i nostri bambini?",
contempla ammirato Ed che dorme immoto
presso il camino, mentre i due vecchini
si son dati alla lettura: un thriller
intitolato Jack il Lady-Killer
per la nonna, per il nonno Tom Jones.
Ognuno si legge il suo, ma ogni po'
ecco un pensiero che va condiviso-
"Giacché l'arsenico cresce nei peli?"
oppure: "Tom, questi piani crudeli
come farà a inventarli all'improvviso?",
così intrecciano i romanzi e le vite,
come dei rami di una stessa vite.”

Vikram Seth

“All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right,
An emptiness above--

Know that you aren't alone.
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all your years.”

“Music, such music, is a sufficient gift. Why ask for happiness; why hope not to grieve? It is enough, it is to be blessed enough, to live from day to day and to hear such music-not too much, or the soul could not sustain it-from time to time.”

Vikram Seth A Suitable Boy

Origine: A Suitable Boy

“You too will marry a boy I choose,' said Mrs Rupa Mehra firmly to her younger daughter. Lata avoided the maternal imperative by looking around the great lamp-lit garden of Prem Nivas. The wedding-guests were gathered on the lawn. 'Hmm,' she said. This annoyed her mother further.”

Vikram Seth A Suitable Boy

A Suitable Boy (1993)

“Some men like Jack and some like Jill
I'm glad I like them both but still
I wonder if this freewheeling
Really is an enlightened thing,
Or is its greater scope a sign
Of deviance from some party line?
In the strict ranks of Gay and Straight
What is my status: Stray? Or Great?”

Dubious from &#x27;Mappings&#x27; (Writers Workshop, Calcutta, 1980). <br class="br">Repeated by Seth in online interview http://www.rediff.com/chat/vikchat.htm.

“Imagining the flower-pot attacked it
The kitten flung the violets near and far
And yet, who knows? This morning, as I backed it,
My car was set upon by a parked car.”
