levi and pakeezah - life sailing in poetry

to read periodic table and see pakezaah, one cannot complain of a dissonance, for both are life sailing in poetry - the former takes us to a life having lived an experience which still resonates in Europe, the other is a sad fable about the vulnerability of dreams, the sad demise of the unbreakable --- levi makes me remember the smells of my chemistry lab, also instructs me about characters, passing on the wisdom that the genius lies in finding the majestic in the trivial, pakeezah raises her fingers towards the sky, my eyes follow, asking me to search destiny in clouds, weather, sun and the moon...
