● Smile O voluptuous cool-breath’d earth!● Earth of the slumbering and liquid trees!● Earth of departed sunset—earth of the mountains misty-topt!● Earth of the vitreous pour of the full moon just tinged with blue!● Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river!● Earth of the limpid gray of clouds brighter and clearer for my sake!● Far-swooping elbow’d earth—rich apple-blossom’d earth!● Smile, for your lover comes.
● -Walt Whitman – Song of Myself

●The space- The Hungry Tide –
● The indeterminate, fluid space of the Sundarbans
in southern Bangladesh –
● land and sea constantly yield to each other in a
daily, elemental cycle
![Page 21: Hungry Tide - Gosh 2018](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021308/6207f43b25c0263b6a24f74a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
● river delta, consisting of innumerable islands which
appear and disappear according to the whims of
tides

●a landscape in which the sea, the river, the
land, humans and animals all co-exist –
●sometimes in harmony, but often in
competition
![Page 23: Hungry Tide - Gosh 2018](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021308/6207f43b25c0263b6a24f74a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
●“a terrain where the boundaries between
land and water are always mutating,
always unpredictable” (HT 18)

●Within this space- Ghosh –
●presents an environmental issue which has come to be recognised as one of the fundamental problems -
●
●conservationism –
![Page 25: Hungry Tide - Gosh 2018](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021308/6207f43b25c0263b6a24f74a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
● an issue Robert Cribb calls the “acute
conflict” between conservation and human
rights.

●In this conflict, a battle line has come to
be been drawn between environmentally
conscious groups fighting on the side of
non-human nature
●
![Page 27: Hungry Tide - Gosh 2018](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021308/6207f43b25c0263b6a24f74a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
● and human-rights groups on the side of the
poor, the dispossessed and underdeveloped
peoples of the world-
![Page 28: Hungry Tide - Gosh 2018](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021308/6207f43b25c0263b6a24f74a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
●The Hungry Tide, with its complex mixture
of people and landscape, steps into this
conflict with an implied plea for
moderation to both sides –
![Page 29: Hungry Tide - Gosh 2018](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021308/6207f43b25c0263b6a24f74a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

understanding of the plight of the poor
●
●and that of animals and nature

environment

● They are "unhomely" not only in the sense that
they are "out of place," without a place on the
land or in history
