Ray's Jalsaghar is a Gassire's lute its own auteur, brute, so percussively silences because
The bildungsburgertum's breath can but keep the beat of a chilblained dominie's thaws
Plied, perhaps, to some good purpose in Paideia's Ultima Thule
Not Bengal's banshee wail for British Rule.
Envoi-
Prince! Send Sentiments, Moral, not the rouged Ressentiments of Madam Quarrel
From Weyland's Smithy, a brand of Adam more pithy, to Ind's strand of Coral!
