Walace Stevens - Sonia Gandhi: After the final no, there comes a yes
Greetings: I came across the reference to the Poet Wallace Stevens lines
"After the final no, there comes the yes, and on that yes the future world
depends". Political Editor Rajiv Deshpande referred these lines in the
Times of India while describing journey of the "Reluctant Ruler" Sonia
Gandhi, who had said NO to power at least 3 times. Her "NO" to become PM of
India in 2004 election victory, will be remembered for long times in the
Indian history. "We consider Barack Obama as a man who defied the odds of
his colour and skin, and became the Can-Do president. But right in our
midst, there is a woman, Sonia Gandhi, whose race, religion, Country of
origin, colour and language are different. And quietly, she has taken on
huge odds and beaten the stuffings out of them, without the slightest
oratorical flourish." It is a transformation that has been full of grace.
I liked the poem "The Well Dressed Man with Beared". Thanks.
