Med anledning av att vi "firar" bokens dag - (ja herregud vad dessa dagar avlöser varandra även före Valborg) - återkopplar jag till en tidigare text om den indiske författaren Jamil Ahmad, rättare sagt till hans vidunderliga täta små berättelser om ett liv långt bort ifrån oss.
"Homerisk distans råder, eller kanske snarare indisk. Jamil Ahmad är född
i den indiska delen av Punjab; en region som var en högkultur vid den
tid då våra isländska sagor befolkades av samma släktfejder och röverier
som i den här romanen."

William Shakespeare - My love is a fever
The Sonnets. 147.
My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease;
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve,
Desire his death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen´s are,
At random from the truth vainly expresse´d:
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease;
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve,
Desire his death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen´s are,
At random from the truth vainly expresse´d:
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
