SOMASIRI DEVENDRA’S SUNDAY COLUMN, 25 JULY 2021<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"SOMASIRI<\/p>\n

Look, sister, look! Isn\u2019t that the rain that\u2019s a-coming?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Roaring, roaring, rolling over rocks and trees,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hard blows the wind;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hard strikes the lightning;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Loud roars the thunder;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Black turns the sky –<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it the rain that\u2019s a-coming?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0(Suriya Shankar Molligoda sang this, in Sinhala)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the rains have now come. In majesty.And it brings back that most comfortable and happy audio-memory of childhood: the sound of rain on the roof. \u201cSuch sweet thunder\u201d the Bard said, (and Duke Ellington named an album of jazz \u201csonnets\u201d in homage).<\/span><\/p>\n

We once lived in an old house in a village, long ago, and Rain was a regular visitor. There was the dainty, wispy\u00a0mal-vaessa\u00a0<\/em>which ended all-too-soon; and there were the sunlit showers for \u201cthe jackal\u2019s wedding\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

But I like rain to be dour and heavy, to whip the branches and beat them \u201c\u2026ragged\/ Tattered and jagged,\/Rudely rayne beaten\u201d. That\u2019s its business.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I loved best an afternoon thunderstorm: get into bed, curl up, cover myself and fall deliciously\u00a0 asleep to the all-blanketing roar of rain on the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only rain, but water, water, was all around us in the village: the \u201cslumb\u2019rous stream\u201d of the\u00a0 irrigation channel, our tame and personal waterway; the water spouts where we played around, and\u00a0 sometimes even bathed! The fern-wreathed shaft of our own well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Did I like the village because of the water or did I love water because of the village? A bit of both, I think. Anyway, I\u2019ve paid my homage to\u00a0 them, elsewhere: I was so happy, writing that book. (\u201cTwo to Tango\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

But the (water = happiness) equation goes way beyond the village days. When I was eight or so my\u00a0 younger sister and I spent a day at a friend\u2019s house. There was a little irrigation runnel and we had a whale of a time playing with that little waterway. Of that day, that memory alone, remains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there was a small, but natural stream at Ekiriya where we spent a long holiday. Like all streams it was playful: you dammed it and it \u2018damned\u2019 you back! You did your best but it carried on regardless, chuckling away, \u201cno hard feelings, Mate\u201d! It was as good as having a friend always ready to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Like a laptop, today!)<\/span><\/p>\n

The sound of free-flowing water is magic. Never monotonous. Constantly changing. To hear this music\u00a0 best, you must go to Belihul Oya. We honeymooned at the Rest House and the memory of that music\u00a0 lingers (which came first \u2013 the magic of the music or of the honeymoon?!) We went back 55 years later\u00a0 and the music was still playing. The boulder-strewn river making sure that the water flow was always\u00a0 hindered, forcing it to go in a different way, grumbling, cursing, gurgling; making mine music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another day, at another place: I see myself standing, absorbed, by a little up-country stream\u00a0 trickling, tinkling down a channel built to tame it but, yet, making such soothing little sounds. I had to tear myself away.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried \u2018Googling\u2019 for images\/recordings of rivers scenes, but the sounds were too repetitive. There was no life in them. Then I toyed with the idea of building a fountain: but knew that it, too, would lack \u201clife\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s better to await the rain, though it will not bring back lost magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, well! I can\u2019t have it all ways.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
