in the limitless blue.
To the brother’s spotless shirt, His sister had
sown With the fine gold thread Of her heart’s desire
Buttons which shone like stars;
How often had his ageing mother,

Hung that shirt out to dry In her sunny courtyard.
Now that self-same shirt Has deserted the mother’s courtyard,
Adorned by bright sunlight And the soft shadow’[…]

Miss Himmelfarb’s Idea of Poverty covers The great Victorian Era

Miss Gertrude Himmelfarb called The Great Historian of the Victorian Era. She crossed the country and explored England’s streets and found the “Idea of Poverty”.


Victorian Era

Gertrude Himmelfarb (b. 8 Aug 1922–30 Dec 2019) was a great conservative historian, studied deep on intellectual history, and a Ph.D. (history) holder from the University of Chicago in 1950. Miss Himmelfarb allowed herself to dive focusing Britain and Victorian Era, The Queen Victoria’s reign, culture and society. The one who brought the real history and culture of Britain in front of the 20th century. Gertrude often called a great historian of the period, was born in New York City but her thoughts made her travel to miles away finding hidden cultures and history of England, drag herself into the Victorian Era.

Irving Kristol

Himmelfarb had married to great Irving Kristol (b. 22 Jan 1920–18 Sep 2019), one of the popular journalists, editors, and a godfather to the greatest political movement, Neoconservatism. He was also the founder of Many magazines. The most discussed figure on cultural politics often in the middle of the 20th century. Upon marrying a successful man, she did not change her last name (Himmelfarb).

A famous sociologist, editor and writer who was a professor at Harvard University, Daniel Bell wrote “Best marriage of our generation”

Leading life of Gertrude Himmelfarb

The woman with well-settled life crossed the country and made her fine jump picking up her spading fork to evolve day by day and brought the history of Britain on the book Idea of Poverty It captured the discussions of the great people’s thinking, 17th to 18th and later middle of 19th century.

The Idea of Poverty has stories of labouring people who depended on charity, donation, and some of them were orphans too. Exploring the economy that profit poor, a legislative authority that could bring food, educations, and support them financially through subsidies schemes. There were no democratic laws, but an Ira of Queen Victoria. There was a motive for stabilizing the economy that could benefit everyone from it.

The well-known fact of any country not in the early century only but the current too. The expansion of the industrial economy creates an equal opportunity to become a wealthy nation. The ultimate product is the only happiness and comfort of low caste society.

It is a fact that a wealthy country has been contributed to an increase in an enormous population. This fact is not from advanced education but it’s stated by the old studies. The most populated country, China is in its first place and followed by India in second. They were rich in their early days.

Miss Himmelfarb explored such kinds of theories by digging deep by cultural and historical shots. Her determination proved in the book,  Idea of Poverty  (it is available on Amazon). Some credit also goes to her beloved husband expanding views of poverty in England. She was a Teacher of the Free and Virtuous Society, and Miss Himmelfarb once called A Jewish Woman (it covers her life span in short).

[David McGrogan: This was my first encounter with Himmelfarb, and I was deeply impressed by the breadth and depth of scholarship in this book, which sets for itself the daunting task of accounting for how it was that “poverty” came to be seen as a problem for society or government to attempt to solve, rather than a mere fact of life as it had been thought of before the 18th century. There is something almost Foucauldian about the project, and I was amused to find American conservatism reflecting French post-stru …more]

Her arguments that a little more virtuousness trumps any number of government social programs made her a hero to some and a bête noire to others.

The Rebel poem Kazi Nazrul Islam

The poets Kazi Islam and Patric Pearse used emotional and rebellious words in this poem (like hurricane, tears, sun, galaxy, planets, universe, etc.). However, Kazi Nazrul Islam had served as a Muezzin (a man who calls Muslims to prayer from the minaret of a mosque).

Thus, Patrick Pearse, also known as Patrick Henry Pearse, was an Irish educator, barrister, poet, writer, nationalist, republican political activist, and revolutionary. Who was one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916 (… Wikipedia) seems like both have worked hard to produce the poem. The pickings of the most critic words were the first-ever work of labour by duo stands at its in prime.

The Rebel Poem by Kazi Islam

Say, Valiant,
 Say: High is my head!
 Looking at my head
 Is cast down the great Himalayan peak!
 Say, Valiant,
 Say: Ripping apart the wide sky of the universe,
 Leaving behind the moon, the sun, the planets
 and the stars
 Piercing the earth and the heavens,
 Pushing through Almighty's sacred seat
 Have I risen,
 I, the perennial wonder of mother-earth!
 The angry God shines on my forehead
 Like some royal victory's gorgeous emblem.
 Say, Valiant,
 Ever high is my head!
 I am irresponsible, cruel and arrogant,
 I the king of the great upheaval,
 I am cyclone, I am destruction,
 I am the great fear, the curse of the universe.
 I have no mercy,
 I grind all to pieces.
 I am disorderly and lawless,
 I trample under my feet all rules and discipline!
 I am Durjati, I am the sudden tempest of ultimate summer,
 I am the rebel, the rebel-son of mother-earth!
 Say, Valiant,
 Ever high is my head!
 I am the hurricane, I am the cyclone
 I destroy all that I found in the path!
 I am the dance-intoxicated rhythm,
 I dance at my own pleasure,
 I am the unfettered joy of life!
 I am Hambeer, I am Chhayanata, I am Hindole,
 I am ever restless,
 I caper and dance as I move!
 I do whatever appeals to me, whenever I like,
 I embrace the enemy and wrestle with death,
 I am mad. I am the tornado!
 I am pestilence, the great fear,
 I am the death of all reigns of terror,
 I am full of a warm restlessness forever!
 Say, Valiant,
 Ever high is my head!
 I am creation, I am destruction,
 I am habitation, I am the grave-yard,
 I am the end, the end of the night!
 I am the son of Indrani
 With the moon in my head
 And the sun on my temple
 In one hand of mine is the tender flute
 While in the other I hold the war bugle!
 I am the Bedouin, I am the Chengis,
 I salute none but me!
 I am thunder,
 I am Brahma's sound in the sky and on the earth,
 I am the mighty roar of Israfil's bugle,
 I am the great trident of Pinakpani,
 I am the staff of the king of truth,
 I am the Chakra and the great Shanka,
 I am the mighty primordial shout!
 I am Bishyamitra's pupil, Durbasha the furious,
 I am the fury of the wildfire,
 I burn to ashes this universe!
 I am the gay laughter of the generous heart,
 I am the enemy of creation, the mighty terror!
 I am the eclipse of the twelve suns,
 I herald the final destruction!
 Sometimes I am quiet and serene,
 I am in a frenzy at other times,
 I am the new youth of dawn,
 I crush under my feet the vain glory of the Almighty!
 I am the fury of a typhoon,
 I am the tumultuous roar of the ocean,
 I am ever effluent and bright,
 I trippingly flow like the gaily warbling brook.
 I am the maiden's dark glassy hair,
 I am the spark of fire in her blazing eyes.
 I am the tender love that lies
 In the sixteen-year old's heart,
 I am happy beyond measure!
 I am the pining soul of the lovesick,
 I am the bitter tears in the widow's heart,
 I am the piteous sighs of the unlucky!
 I am the pain and sorrow of all homeless sufferers,
 I am the anguish of the insulted heart,
 I am the burning pain and the madness of the jilted lover!
 I am the unutterable grief,
 I am the trembling first touch of the virgin,
 I am the throbbing tenderness of her first stolen kiss.
 I am the fleeting glance of the veiled beloved,
 I am her constant surreptitious gaze.
 I am the gay gripping young girl's love,
 I am the jingling music of her bangles!
 I am the eternal-child, the adolescent of all times,
 I am the shy village maiden frightened by her own budding youth.
 I am the soothing breeze of the south,
 I am the pensive gale of the east.
 I am the deep solemn song sung by the wandering bard,
 I am the soft music played on his lyre!
 I am the harsh unquenched mid-day thirst,
 I am the fierce, blazing sun,
 I am the softly thrilling desert spring,
 I am the cool shadowy greenery!
 Maddened with an intense joy, I rush onward,
 I am insane! I am insane!
 Suddenly, I have come to know myself,
 All the false barriers have crumbled today!
 I am rising, I am the fall,
 I am consciousness in the unconscious soul,
 I am the flag of triumph at the gate of the world,
 I am the glorious sign of man's victory,
 Clapping my hands in exultation, I rush like the hurricane,
 Traversing the earth and the sky.
 The mighty Borrak is the horse I ride.
 It neighs impatiently, drunk with delight!
 I am the burning volcano in the bosom of the earth,
 I am the wildfire of the woods,
 I am Hell's mad terrific sea of wrath!
 I ride on the wings of the lightning with joy and profound,
 I scatter misery and fear all around,
 I bring earth-quakes on this world!
 I am Orpheus's flute,
 I bring sleep to the fevered world,
 I make the heaving hells temple in fear and die.
 I carry the message of revolt to the earth and the sky!
 I am the mighty flood,
 Sometimes I make the earth rich and fertile,
 At another times, I cause colossal damage.
 I snatch from Bishnu's bosom the two girls!
 I am injustice, I am the shooting star,
 I am Saturn, I am the fire of the comet,
 I am the poisonous asp!
 I am Chandi the headless, I am a ruinous Warlord,
 Sitting in the burning pit of Hell
 I smile as the innocent flower!
 I am the cruel axe of Parsurama,
 I shall kill warriors
 And bring peace and harmony in the universe!
 I am the plough on the shoulders of Balarama,
 I shall uproot this miserable earth effortlessly and with ease,
 And create a new universe of joy and peace.
 Weary of struggles, I, the great rebel,
 Shall rest in quiet only when I find
 The sky and the air free of the piteous groans of the oppressed.
 Only when the battlefields are cleared of jingling bloody sabers
 Shall I, weary of struggles, rest in quiet,
 I, the great rebel.
 I am the rebel eternal,
 I raise my head beyond this world,
 High, ever erect and alone! […]
 [The poetry has been translated by the great essayist Kabir Chowdhury]

Poem: Vocation By Poet Rabindranath Tagore

When the gong sounds ten in the morning, and
I walk to school by our lane,
Every day I meet the hawker crying, “Bangles,
crystal bangles!”
There is nothing to hurry him on, there is no
road he must take, no place he must go to, no
Time when he must come home.
I wish I were a hawker, spending my day in
The road, crying, “Bangles, crystal bangles!”
When at four in the afternoon, I come back from
the school,
I can see through the gate of that house the
Gardener digging the ground.
He does what he likes with his spade, the soils
his clothes with dust, nobody takes him to
Task, if he gets baked in the sun or gets wet.
I wish I were a gardener digging away at the
Garden with nobody to stop me from digging.
Just as it gets dark in the evening and my
mother sends me to bed,
I can see through my open window the
Watchman walking up and down.
The lane is dark and lonely, and the street lamp
Stands like a giant with one red eye in its head.
The watchman swings his lantern and walks
with his shadow at his side, and never once
Goes to bed in his life.
I wish I were a watchman walking the street
all night, chasing the shadows with mine
Lantern.

The infinite meaning of Pasayadan like concealed within the visible universe

Salutations to the Lord of all, who is concealed within the visible universe. It is He who causes this universe to appear, and it is He who causes it to vanish as well. When He is revealed, the universe disappears; when He is concealed, the universe shines forth.

Yet, He doesn’t hide Himself, nor does He reveal Himself; He is always present before us at every moment. No matter how diverse and varied the universe appears, He remains unmoved, unchanged. And this is just as one would expect, since He is always one, without a second.

This poetry is simply begging to God and holy offerings.

तापहीन सूर्यच आहेत असे संतसज्जन सर्व प्राणिमात्रांचे मित्र होवोत. ॥ ६ ॥
तिन्ही लोकांनी सर्व सुखांनी परिपूर्ण होऊन अखंडितपणे विश्वाच्या आदिपुरुषाची सेवा करावी. ॥ ७ ॥
हा ग्रंथ ज्यांचे जीवन आहे,
त्यांनी या जगातील दृष्य आणि अदृष्य भोगांवर विजयी व्हावे. ॥८ ॥
यावर विश्वेश्वर गूरु श्री निवृत्तीनाथ म्हणाले की हा प्रसाद तुला लाभेल.
या वराने ज्ञानदेव सुखी झाले. ॥ ९ ॥

Pasayadan, Translation in English

“Now may the cosmic God be satisfied with my rhetoric and give me this Pasaydan (offering). ॥ 1Let the wickedness of the wicked disappear, let them be interested in doing good deeds. Create a sense of friendship in all creatures. ॥ 2May the darkness of ignorance of the sinful man disappear, may the sun of self-righteousness rise in the universe.

May the wishes of life be fulfilled. ॥ 3May the God-fearing saints who shower all kinds of Mars come down to earth and meet the creatures. ॥ 4Those (saints) are the walking gardens of Kalpataru, the villages of conscious Chintamani gems, the speaking seas of nectar,॥ 5May the saints who are pure moons without any spots, without sun without heat, be the friends of all creatures. ॥ ६

All three should be perfect in all their pleasures and should serve the Primordial Man of the universe uninterruptedly. ॥ 7Those who have this scripture as their life should conquer the visible and invisible sufferings of this world. ॥८॥Vishweshwar Guru Shri Nivruttinath said that you will get this Prasad. Gyan dev was happy with this groom. ॥ 9”

One of his poetry still inspires people in the world. He has made crores of Indians understand how friendship forms and its importance. The trust is friendship in his meaning, and he has very well-placed these powerful worlds together in this poem.

“जुम्मन जब हज करने गये थे तब अपना घर अलग को सौंप गए थे. अलगू जब कभ बहार जाते तोह जुम्मन पर अपना घर छोड़ जाते थे. उनके न खान-पान का व्यवहार था न  धर्म का नाता, केवल विचार मिलते थे. मित्रता का  मूल मंत्र भी यही है  – पांच परमेश्वर”

“When Jumman went to perform Hajj, he handed over his house to Alagu. When Algu used to go out, he used to handover his house to Jumman. He had neither food and behavior nor religion, only ideas of both were matching. This is also the key to friendship – Five Gods”

There will be no time when people of all the religions will come together and celebrate their success and happiness. He was a king in writing Indo-Muslim cultural history. Premchand completed his education, BA in literature in 1919.

A Poem by Munshi Premchand

सन् अट्ठारह सौ अस्सी, लमही सुंदर ग्राम।प्रेमचंद को जनम भयो, हिन्दी साहित काम।। परमेश्वर पंचन बसें, प्रेमचंद कहि बात।हल्कू कम्बल बिन मरे, वही पूस की रात।। सिलिया को भरमाय के, पंडित करता पाप।धरम ज्ञान की आड़ में, मनमानी चुपचाप।।बेटी बुधिया मर गई, कफन न पायो अंग।घीसू माधू झूमते, मधुशाला के संग।। होरी धनिया मर गए, कर न सके गोदान।जीवनभर मेहनत करी, प्रेमचंद वरदान।। मुन्नी तो तरसत रही, आभूषण नहि पाई।झुनिया गोबर घूमते, बिन शिक्षा के माहि।। बेटी निर्मला कह रही, कन्या दीजे मेल।जीवनभर को मरण है, ब्याह होय बेमेल।। पंच बसे परमात्मा, खाला लिए बुलाय।शेखा जुम्मन देखते, अलगू करते न्याय।

In 1880, Lamhi Sundar Village. Birthday to Premchand, Hindi literature work. Parmeshwar Panchan Buses, what is Premchand Hulku without blankets, the same night. Celia to deceive, Pandit committing sin. Under the guise of Dharam knowledge, arbitrary silence. Daughter Budhia died, not Shroud Payo Anga.

Ghisu Madhu jhumte, with the tavern. Hori coriander died, Godan could not do it. Work hard for life, boon Premchand. Munni loved it, could not find jewellery. Jhunia dung roams, without education. Daughter Nirmala is saying Kanya Dijay mail. Life is death, marriage is a mismatch. Punch settled God, called for Khala. Seeing Shekha Jumman, separating justice. This poetry give us overall his thoughts for our society and the real-life situation.
