Banalata Sen an analysis

Banalata Sen was a recurrent theme in Jibanananda's creation with its richtapestry of imagery. Was there a Banalata Sen? There is no documentation thatthere was indeed someone by that name in his real life. Expressions suggestingthe end of time, and the use of words like "darkness remains" suggest end oflife themes, that were common in Jibanananda's works related to Banalata Sen,but nothing beyond this is hinted at in these works.

William Wordsworth says, ‘Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful emotion recollected in Tranquility…’ and Keats concludes that ‘If Poetry comes not as naturally as leaves to a tree it had better not come at all.’ Keats’s great odes reveal his view of the relationship between the soul, eternity, nature, and art. The Romantic father, Jean Jaques Rosseau established the cult of the individual and championed the freedom of the human spirit; his famous quote was, ‘’ I felt before I Thought.’’ Sensibility has remained a core feature of the romantic era. ‘’I never can feel certain of any truth but from a clear perception of its Beauty’’ this is an excerpt of the letter Keats wrote to George and Georgiana Keats, he believes the only certainty of Truth is based and conditioned on his mind perceiving it as beautiful, he buttresses his
