Jibanananda Das
“मैंने देखा है बंगाल का चेहरा इसलिए पृथ्वी का रूप
देखने कहीं नहीं जाता, अँधेरे में जगे गूलर के पेड़
तकता हूँ, छाते जैसे बड़े पत्तों के नीचे बैठा हुआ है
भोर का दयोल पक्षी-चारों ओर देखता हूँ पल्लवों का स्तूप
जामुन, बरगद, कटहल, सेमल, पीपल साधे हुए हैं चुप्पी।

नागफनी का छाया बलुआही झाड़ों पर पड़ रही है
मधुकर(सौदागर, सती बेहुला की कथा का पात्र) के नाव से न जाने कब चाँद, चम्पा के पास आ गया है
ऐसे ही सेमल, बरगद और ताड़ की नीली छाया से भरा पूरा है
बगाल का अप्रतिम रूप।

हाय, बेहुला ने भी देखा था एक दिन गंगा में नाव से
नदी किनारे कृष्ण द्वादशी की चाँदनी में
सुनहले धान के पास हज़ारों पीपल, बरगद वट में
मन्द स्वर में खंजनी की तरह इन्द्रसभा में
श्यामा(लोक संगीत) के कोमल गीत सुने थे, बंगाल के नदी कगार ने
खेत मैदान पर घुँघरू की तरह रोये थे उसके पाँव।”
Jibanananda Das, Bengal the Beautiful

“পিতৃশ্রাদ্ধ করতে প্রতাপ শেষবার গিয়েছিলেন মালখানগরে। প্রতাপ শক্ত চরিত্রের মানুষ, সবাই তাকে তেজস্বী পুরুষ হিসেবে মানে, কিন্তু সেবার তিনি খুব কান্নাকাটি করেছিলেন। বাবার মৃত্যুর সঙ্গে সঙ্গে পূর্বপুরুষদের সঙ্গে সব যোগাযোগ ছিন্ন হয়ে গেল, মাটি থেকে উপড়ে তোলা হলো এক বর্ধিষ্ণু বৃক্ষের শিকড়। পূর্ববাংলার এই নদীময় প্রান্তর, এই মিষ্টি বাতাস, খেজুর রসের স্বাদের মতন ভোর, ঠাকুমার গল্পের আমেজমাখা সন্ধ্যা, এসব আর দেখা হবে না। এরপর থেকে কলকাতায় ভাড়াটে বাড়ির অন্ধকার ঘুপচি ঘরে চির নির্বাসন।”
Sunil Gangopadhyay, পূর্ব-পশ্চিম
