• on An Indian Love Song by Sarojini Naidu, on December 11, 2004

  A most well written poem. Sarojini Naidu's piece is indeed a flawless execution of emotive renderings, that suggest a mastery of the poetic vernier that I can only aspire to. There is a clear social backdrop to the poem that draws upon the south asian creed, but I suspect that she may have been inspired no doubt by Shakespears Romeo and Juliet despite the very clear Hindu Muslim chasim of that time "Alike in his ear sound the temple bells / and the cry of the muezzin." Three instances that took me back to R&J - Kiss, grant thy prayer, Profane. Those familiar with the Bards work will note that this is from the scene where they first meet and he beseeches her for a kiss while they dance. There is a lot of detail here. The Veil, Tress, Anklet are common rheotic Indian elements, used in many poems even to this day. Mastery however is displayed in bringing freshness to this. Like writing about a Rose and making it come alive so that you are spellbinded anew. Superb Write Nevertheless.
