“I'll never know, and neither will you, of the life you don't choose. We'll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn't carry us. There's nothing to do but salute it from the shore.”

खेतों को गिरवी रख
पुरखों को कर प्रणाम
उड़ गया अकेला वह
देखता रहा सिवान।

हार गया यवतमाल
फैल गया गांव-गांव
कर्जे का मकड़जाल।

बीज खाद पानी के
दाम आसमान में
रूठ गए खेत सभी
दम नहीं किसान में।

- बुद्धिनाथ मिश्र
