बुटातील पाउले उंबऱ्याबाहेर पडली होती...Van Gogh's Shoes

Today July 29 2015 is 125th Death Anniversary of Vincent van Gogh

The epigraph in G A's 'Pinglavel' (पिंगळावेळ), 1977

तीर्थरूप आबांस,

डोळे उघडुन उठून बसत मी तुम्हाला नीट
पाहण्यापूर्वीच तुमची पाउले उंबऱ्याबाहेर
पडली होती.

(To father who is Equivalent-of-Holy-Water,

Before I opened my eyes and sat up to take a good
look at you your feet had crossed over the threshold)

I often wondered what those feet were like...


Artist: Van Gogh, September 1887
