The Beauty of Comparative Literature – A Poetic Reflection

In the current epoch

of Postmodern thought,

Comparison, yet, remains a blot.

But why a blot? Why not a smile?

Literature’s juxtapos-

I T I O N ‘s needed.

From culture to culture,

and notion to notion,

comparison is, here, a beautiful commotion.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a man of inaction

Mahabharat’s Himanshu, a similar faction

Compare, contrast

A literary blast,

conglomerized art…the end: the start:

In the current epoch ;

of Postmodern thought.
