Amitav Ghosh Quotes
It Was A Single Poppy Seed ... She Rolled It Between Her Fingers And Raised Her Eyes Past The Straining Sails, To The Star-filled Vault Above. On Any Other Night She Would Have Scanned The Sky For The Planet She Had Always Thought To Be The Arbiter Of Her Fate - But Tonight Her Eyes Dropped Instead To The Tiny Sphere She Was Holding Between Her Thumb And Forefinger. She Looked At The Seed As If She Had Never Seen One Before, And Suddenly She Knew That It Was Not The Planet Above That Governed Her Life: It Was This Minuscule Orb - At Once Bountiful And All-devouring, Merciful And Destructive, Sustaining And Vengeful. This Was Her Shani, Her Saturn.
