Jhumpa Lahiri Quotes
The Givers And Keepers Of Gogol's Name Are Far From Him Now. One Dead. Another, A Widow, On The Verge Of A Different Sort Of Departure, In Order To Dwell, As His Father Does, In A Separate World. She Will Call Him, Once A Week, On The Phone. She Will Learn To Send E-mail, She Says. Once Or Twice A Week, He Will Hear "Gogol" Over The Wires, See It Typed On A Screen. As For All The People In The House, All The Mashis And Meshos To Whom He Is Still, And Will Always Be, Gogol - Now That His Mother Is Moving Away, How Often Will He See Them? Without People In The World To Call Him Gogol, No Matter How Long He Himself Lives, Gogol Ganguli Will, Once And For All, Vanish From The Lips Of Loved Ones, And So, Cease To Exist. Yet The Thought Of This Eventual Demise Provides No Sense Of Victory, No Solace. It Provides No Solace At All.
