“The Last Song of Grimbeard the Ghastly I sailed so far to be a King but the time was never right I lost my way on a stormy past, got wrecked in starless night But let my heart be wrecked by hurricanes and my ship by storm weather I know I am a Hero, and a Hero is… forever In another time, another place, I could have been a King But in my castle’s ruined towers the lonely seabirds sing I burned up my Tomorrows, I cannot go back ever But I am still a Hero, and a Hero is… forever”

“এমন দিনে তারে বলা যায় এমন ঘনঘোর বরিষায়। এমন দিনে মন খোলা যায়— এমন মেঘস্বরে, বাদল-ঝরোঝরে তপনহীন ঘন তমসায়। ... দু কথা বলি যদি কাছে তার তাহাতে আসে যাবে কিবা কার? ব্যাকুল বেগে আজি বহে যায়, বিজুলি থেকে থেকে চমকায়। যে কথা এ জীবনে, রহিয়া গেল মনে সে কথা আজি যেন বলা যায়— এমন ঘনঘোর বরিষায়।”

“Song [translated by Sean Cotter] The present is made only of memories. What was, no one truly knows. The dead constantly trade names, numbers, one, two, three . . . There is only what will be, only happenings yet unhappened, hanging from an unborn branch half a phantom . . . There is only my frozen body, final, stony, and feeble. My sadness hears how unborn dogs bark at unborn people. Only they will truly be. We who live these moments, we are a nighttime dream, a svelte, scampering millipede.”
