"How did you feel
When you were being twirled
upon the potter's wheel
Before the potter gave you to the world!
I felt a conscious impulse in my clay
to brake away
From the great potter hand
that burned so warm
I felt a vast feeling of sorrow to be cast
into my present form
Before that fatal hour
that saw me captive on the potter's wheel
And cast into his crimson goblet sleep
I used to feel
The fragrant friendship of a little flower
Whose root was in my bosom buried deep
The potter has drawn out the living breath of me
And given me a from which is death of me
My past unshapely natural stage was best
With just one flower flaming through my breast."
The poem appear four stanzas. the goblet answers and the answer of the goblet which forms the next three stanzas of the poem is"tinged with a sense of sadness and helpfulness." Chattopadyay"s poetry usually deals with nature of life. The poem is written as a dialogue between poet and the goblet.a water container what is was and what it"s now.
