----------------------------------------------------------------- Dears 'An Ode to Sorpotel' was written by Philip Furtado. As far as I'm aware it is his only published poem. He was the son of a very accomplished poet, Joseph Furtado of Pilerne. Joseph Furtado who died in 1947 lived in Mazagon. Philip Furtado used to stay circa 1967 at 5 Hazarat Terrace, Sankli Street, Byculla, Bombay-8. Could anyone find out and tell us whether he is still there or what has happened to him and his children?
