STRANGE PASSION

Strange Passion

                                 Dr. Annie John




The little bird ached with bleeding wings
Flapping violently at the bars sought escape
But when it was time to fly away....
She had fallen in Love with the Cage.

The tall prison walls, prevented him a view outside
Defeated, struggled hard to break through
But when he gained his freedom....
He had fallen in Love with the Wall's solidarity.

The plants hated him and his scissors
He trimmed them to discipline their unruliness
But when it was time adorn someone's garden....
They had fallen in Love with Gardner.

The water vapor locked up in the pregnant cloud
Suffocated, Sought release 
But by the time cloud burst....
She had fallen in Love with the Sky.

Rejection, Isolation and Solitude killed her instinct to live
Died a million times every moment
But when proved innocent....
She had already fallen in Love with Loneliness.

Lying on his death bed, Suffering excruciating pain
Implored earnestly to the omnipotent
But when granted life....
He had already fallen in Love with Death.

Mikhail Bakhtin’s Dialogism and Intertextuality:   A Perspective  Author : Prof. Panchappa R. Waghmare   A.R. Burla Mahila Varishta Mahavidyalaya, Solapur  INTRODUCTION :                   The upsurge of current literary theory has become something of significant phenomenon in contemporary literature, emerging as formidable force in interdisciplinary subjects. Dialogic criticism proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin is one of the new perspectives to study literary work. To Bakhtin, text is not a self contained organism and the language represented in text is not alien entity, instead a site for dialogic interaction of multiple voices or modes of discourse. This research paper briefly attempts to introduce dialogic criticism and its theoretical concepts like polyphony, heteroglossia and their relation to literary work. It also concentrates on the theory of dialogism in relation to the notion of intertexuality in contemporary critical theory. The revival and reint
