Poet Derek Walcott, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992 and helped Caribbean writing into the global spotlight, died on March 17, 2017, peacefully at his home in St Lucia today. He was 87. Here goes a glimpses of verses:

"The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome."
�Sea Grapes

�The drunken officer of British rule, how choose
Between this Africa and the English tongue I love?
Betray them both, or give back what they give?
How can I face such slaughter and be cool?
How can I turn from Africa and live?"
�A Far Cry From Africa

�all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,�
�Love After Love
