The Price of Success

Maa

This is my weak attempt (in Hindi) at immortalising the strongest factor in my, and perhaps most of our lives - Our Mother



The main image is a beautiful painting by Australian Artist Max Mannix, which is aptly titled 'Mother and Child'.

Satan’s Soliloquy

P.S.: By the word's 'Milton's Classic Epic,' I am referring to Paradise Lost, an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. It was originally published in 1667 in ten books; a second edition followed in 1674, redivided into twelve books. The poem concerns the Judeo-Christian story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The protagonist of this epic is the fallen angel, Satan.

The main image is a painting by Gustave Dore (January 6, 1832 – January 23, 1883) who was a French artist, engraver, and illustrator. The painting is Dore’s depiction of Satan from John Milton's Paradise Lost.

The Dark Mark

P.S.: This work is more of a song than a poetry for me, perhaps that’s why I’ve added chorus etc.

The image I have used is from Natasha Bedingfield’s song ‘Bruise’ which I simply love. Found it to be most appropriate for my work :).
