VYASA AND HOMER
K. V. Ramana Rao
In Vyasa, an isle, there lived a poet of vision,
He sang with the fervour of a divine mission,
All the world’s glow-worm poets will stand in reverence
Before his Sun-Flame mind’s exalted pesence
In Greece was born a poet of divine fire,
His epic voice is as from a god’s lyre,
Abandoned he roamed in rags in opulent cities
And
fought for his bread where his Achilles fought for his Greece.
