Once Upon A Night...



CoViD-19 කාලේදි,
එක්තරා රාත්‍රියක,
විටෙන් විටෙක ශබ්ද නඟන,
රතිඤ්ඤා හඩ එහෙන් මෙහෙන්,
ඇකි මැකියයි සාමය,
රජයන්නට දී...
රාත්‍රියේ නිසල බවින්,
අවට ගිලියන මොහතක,
අතීතයේ උණුහුම ගෙන,
ලක් දෙරණේ අහස යටට,
අවුරුදු ඇවිදින්...
ඔබ සැමට සුභ සිංහල හා හින්දු අළුත් අවුරුද්දක් වේවා!!!  
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Once upon a night,
In an era of a pandemic,
The firecrackers flied,
And banged here and there for a while,
Slowly fades away,
And peace prevails…
In a moment of serenity of night,
Carrying in her arms the warmth of our past,
Under the sky of Sri Lanka,
Rolls around the New Year...

 Happy Sinhala and Tamil New Year to everyone who made it to 2020!

HUGE RESPECT TO all health professionals, Police, Army and everyone else who are fighting against COVID-19 trying to save the mankind at the risk of their own lives. OUR SUPERHEROES.
May you and your families be blessed for your humanity in this New Year!
May this New Year bring joy, good health and luck for everyone on earth!

 

STAY SAFE. STAY HOME.

The Pigtail by William Makepeace Thackery

William Makepeace Thackeray               Let's discuss this poem.                               The Pigtail         There lived a sage in days of yore ,               And he a handsome pigtail wore;               But wondered much and sorrowed more,                                                              Because it hung behind him.                                                                   He mused upon this curious case ,                                                                      And swore he'd change the pigtail's place ,                                                                And have it hanging at his face ,                                                                Not dangling there behind him.                                                                      Says he, "The mystery I've found -                                                                      Says he, "The mystery

The Lake Isle of Innisfree by W.B. Yeats

Let's discuss the poem. I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.           The Lake Isle is an island in the middle of the lake called Innisfree located in Ireland. The poet in his poem vividly paints the beauty and the serenity of nature through the lake Innisfree. The poet points out the soothing effect of nature on mankind using different techniques in the poem t
