समुद्र केवळ निरीक्षक आहे...Ulysses and the Sirens, Joseph Conrad and G A Kulkarni

Joseph Conrad
"All the tempestuous passions of mankind's young days, the love of loot and the love of glory, the love of adventure and the love of danger, with the great love of the unknown and vast dreams of dominion and power, have passed like images reflected from a mirror, leaving no record upon the mysterious face of the sea. Impenetrable and heartless, the sea has given nothing of itself to the suitors for its precarious favors."
-from ‘The Mirror of the Sea’
 
जी कुलकर्णी :
"... समुद्राचा अवजड करडा पडदा स्थिर आहे. त्याच्यात आपली प्रतिबिंबे आहेत म्हणून आपण अस्तित्वात आहो  असे निःशंकपणे खडकांना वाटते.   ते अलिप्तपणे उभे आहेत.
        समुद्र केवळ निरीक्षक आहे..."
('अस्तिस्तोत्र', १९७१, 'सांजशकुन', १९७५,२०१५)
 




'Ulysses and the Sirens', 1909 by H.J. Draper
