"We give birth astride a grave." Very bleak, but we need to hear this.

Interesting review

Thanks Aruna!

We wait, and the waiting speaks thus:

We have learned faith by the virtue of having waited.

Thanks Scribble :)

I would want to be patient in my waiting, and Faith, it might come by....

That is, of itself, already a form of faith...to be patient in one's waiting.

Thanks Sven! Hope you enjoy reading it :)

This is great, Rakhi. However, I recommend that, before you seek faith, wait.

Thanks Ian! And I appreciate your recommendation :)

Somehow the ironical shades of the play drain away by the 10th reading....

Actually, I just liked the sound of the words Faith Wait together.

Glad to see you Riku:)

Beckett himself said that he didn't want the audience to think other than what they witnessed, but I guess it's people like us, who've always been in search of something incomprehensible, who deduced such inferences.

Thanks for the recommendation, Jon! I shall surely pick it up to see where it takes me :)

Rakhi, I used to by-heart many dialogues from this great absurd play in the eighties when I read it in eighties. A group of my friends staged it as well. Two quotes from it that I have used frequently are as follows :


“The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. "

"They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more." It conveys the hopeless vision of life as a brilliant moment between the womb and the tomb.

Faith, yes, of something in which to believe. True faith, finds pure truth. No faith, no seek, no find.
