You cannot find the centre Where we dance , where we play, Where life is still asleep Under the closed flower , Under the smooth shell Of eggs in the cupped nest That mock the faded blue Of your remoter heaven .
r. s. thomas— "Children’s Song"
Suicide. A sideways word, a word that people whisper and mutter and cough: a word that must be squeezed out behind cupped palms or murmured behind closed doors. It was only in dreams that I heard the word shouted, screamed.
Lauren Oliver— Delirium (2001, pg. 10)
Death, go somewhere, get lost! I’m not done as yet – Joy still flows from the amphora of colors into my cupped hands.
— Reverie, st. 9
Kathakali dance-drama is like a vast and deep ocean. Some may come to a performance with their hands cupped and only be able to take away what doesn’t slip through their fingers. Others may come with a small vessel, and may be able to drink that:;: And still others may come with a huge cooking pot and take away much more.
— By V.R. Prabhodachnadra Nair quoted in “Kathakali: The Art of the Non-Worldly”, p.1
