Mahfil, voi.l, no.2 2 PRAYOGVADL POEMS. . Govinda Chandra Pande EViiNIHG, SHALL HOUSES, PIA1TTAIN TBEES Evening spreading like so much smoke, the day sealing this hour on the lake^ deep. The silvered taste pencils a picture, a peeking moon. Houses of cards build around, umbrellas of palms, long, broad oyster leaves open, Arms thicken and droop. (Trans. by Leonard ^, Nathan & V, N. Misra) LAKE Beep of water, green dark of amaranth. Opening lotus, blueness and the red tint. Temples as elephants, two trunks, their gait magnificent. (Trans. by Leonard Bi. Nathan & V. N. Misra)
