“ആ പൂവ് നീയെന്തു ചെയ്തു?..........?
ഏതുപൂവ് ?..
രക്ത നക്ഷത്രം പോലെ
കടും ചെമാപ്പായ ആ പൂവ് ?
ഓ അതോ ?
അതെ, അതെന്ത് ചെയ്തു..?
തിടുക്കപ്പെട്ടു അന്വേഷിക്കുന്നതെന്തിനു ?
ചവിട്ടി അരച്ചുകളഞ്ഞോ എന്നറിയാന്‍?
കളഞ്ഞെങ്കിലെന്ത്?
ഓ ഒന്നുമില്ല,

എന്റെ ഹൃദയമായിരുന്നു അത്.....!”
― Vaikom Muhammad Basheer

“Not to be born at all
Is best, far best that can befall,
Next best, when born, with least delay
To trace the backward way.
For when youth passes with its giddy train,
Troubles on troubles follow, toils on toils,
Pain, pain forever pain;
And none escapes life's coils.
Envy, sedition, strife,
Carnage and war, make up the tale of life.”
― Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus
