Francoises' comment on "The Poem Of A Gypsy."

 Francoises' comment on "The Poem Of A Gypsy."

Françoise Dhulesia

In a few lines, you have evoked the essence of gypsies’ life through “the” gypsy, one archetype, the wanderer, the nomad, and how beautifully the lexical fields of mobility, adventure and of home echo each other, not as an opposition hiatus but as complementary element of a noble quest, home, the mother’s home, their genetrix, their reason for existing, the ultimate aim of their quest! I will remember this line: "The night is a square framed by the window", absolutely marvelous!

FORMAL
noun
1.
a pause in an activity when nothing happens
किसी गतिविधि में विराम जब कि कुछ भी घटित नहीं होता है; अंतराल
After a ten-month hiatus the case was reopened.
After a ten-month hiatus the case was reopened.
2.
a place where something is missing in a piece of writing or speech

The Poem of a gypsy.
The poem of the gypsy, the heart homebound,
the snowing and the lakes of ice all around.
The lights of home and lanterns on the balcony
scream to the gypsy, "Come home"
The night is a square framed by the window
showing a patch of sky.. The gypsy travels,
the journey long, far away is the mother's home.
