“Never Ask (The Sonnet) Never ask a poet, Why they write what they write. If they knew why they write, No poetry will have any light. Never ask a painter, Why they paint what they paint. If they knew why they paint, All paint will turn bleak and faint. Never ask a scientist, Why they are curious the way they are. If they knew the reason for their curiosity, There wouldn't be any science, nor uplift's desire. The drive for expression takes a million shapes, When all combine without condescension we'll see God's face.” — Abhijit Naskar
Never Ask (The Sonnet)
Never ask a poet,
Why they write what they write.
If they knew why they write,
No poetry will have any light.
Never ask a painter,
Why they paint what they paint.
If they knew why they paint,
All paint will turn bleak and faint.
Never ask a scientist,
Why they are curious the way they are.
If they knew the reason for their curiosity,
There wouldn't be any science, nor uplift's desire.
The drive for expression takes a million shapes,
When all combine without condescension we'll see God's face.
