Dhan Gopal Mukerji

James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) was an American writer of escapist and fantasy fiction. Born into a wealthy family in the state of Virginia, Cabell attended the College of William and Mary, where he graduated in 1898 following a brief personal scandal. His first stories began to be published, launching a productive decade in which Cabell’s worked appeared in both Harper’s Monthly Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post. Over the next forty years, Cabell would go on to publish fifty-two books, many of them novels and short-story collections. A friend, colleague, and inspiration to such writers as Ellen Glasgow, H.L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, and Theodore Dreiser, James Branch Cabell is remembered as an iconoclastic pioneer of fantasy literature.

FOREWORD

Table of Contents

Like Rajani [perhaps more than], Sandhya is a slender rill that has drawn its music from my Bengali which has told upon its English structure. This and many other faults of these poems are due to their unyielding adherence to spontaneity.

Sandhya came then, as Rajani in its own way through the bed of my Bengali reflecting its sound and sense, and trying to echo back its music that descends on all with the fading twilight.

Dhan Gopal Mukerji.

N. B.—Since some of these poems were born without, and defy titles, I have refrained from forcing any on them.

SYMBOLISM

Table of Contents

Tongueless the bell!

Lute without a song!

It is not night

It is God's dawn,

Silence its unending song.

Over heart's valley,

In the soul's night,

Through pain's window

Behold! His light!

On Life's Height.

No prayer, now,

Though death-waves roll,

Faith's candle lit,

Beside it sits the soul

Reading Eternity's scroll.
