The struggle never goes in vain
It is another matter if it does not pay so soon. It is a sustained struggle that is profitable. One, who works by fits and starts, seldom reaches the goal. To begin with, Bernard Shaw failed to get a publisher, but he preserved on and never gave way to despair. He never regarded it as his failure, but he considered it a miserable failure of the publisher who refused to publish his works, which surely were going to be epoch-making. Soon success wooed him and wooed him incomparably. Practically a century back the scientists launched their attack on the force of nature from various sides and today we find that they have been victorious to a great extent. Take the instance of Surya Kant Tripathi’s “Nirala’ of Hindi poetry. He has been so original and unorthodox in the matter and manner of his poems that the dogmatic critics, who ruled over the literary world, won’t recognize him as a poet, not to say of a great poet. Undaunted and unsubjugated, he continued to write in his peculiar vein and after all, was able to carve out an eternal niche for himself in the temple of immortality.
