| Inscription on right |
| Ronald Ross was not only a doctor and scientist but also a poet. The right hand inscription on his memorial contains three verses from his poem In Exile. Two more verses of the same poem are taken from The Calcutta Chrosome by Amitava Ghoshs. Half stunned I looked around And see a land of death – Dead bones that walk the ground And death bones underneath:. A race of wretches caught, Between the palms of need And rubbed to utter nought, The chaff of human seed. |
