The idea
His English is prose. Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure; this frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. Bengali verse has become English prose paragraphs, and the decision was the author's own.
In practice
Bengali verse, English prose.
Where people slip
The author made the decision.
