THE SUNSET OF THE CENTURY
THE SUNSET OF THE CENTURY
(Written in the Bengali on the last day of last century)
1
The last sun of the century sets amidst the blood-red clouds of the West and the whirlwind of hatred.
The naked passion of self-love of Nations, in its drunken delirium of greed, is dancing to the clash of steel and the howling verses of vengeance.
2
The hungry self of the Nation shall burst in a violence of fury from its own shameless feeding.
