give a brief summary on the poem a love song from the north by sarojni naidu
Answers
Answer:
This poem, the earliest of Eliot’s major works, was completed in 1910 or 1911 but not published until 1915. It is an examination of the tortured psyche of the prototypical modern man—overeducated, eloquent, neurotic, and emotionally stilted. Prufrock, the poem’s speaker, seems to be addressing a potential lover, with whom he would like to “force the moment to its crisis” by somehow consummating their relationship. But Prufrock knows too much of life to “dare” an approach to the woman: In his mind he hears the comments others make about his inadequacies, and he chides himself for “presuming” emotional interaction could be possible at all. The poem moves from a series of fairly concrete (for Eliot) physical settings—a cityscape (the famous “patient etherised upon a table”) and several interiors (women’s arms in the lamplight, coffee spoons, fireplaces)—to a series of vague ocean images conveying Prufrock’s emotional distance from the world as he comes to recognize his second-rate status (“I am not Prince Hamlet’). “Prufrock” is powerful for its range of intellectual reference and also for the vividness of character achieved.
Answer:
Sarojini Naidu's interpretation of love is sentimental in nature. She has imagined a romantic universe that is utterly distinct from our everyday reality.
It is governed by laws of its own. The role of imagination in it is paramount. All reasoning is turned on its head in the wonderful craziness that is love.
She married Dr. Govinda Rajalu in spite of objections from her family and caste, and her love poems reflect her deep and passionate love for him.
Her love songs cover a range of romantic encounters. They are characterised by intensity and immediacy and draw inspiration from both the Sufi Muslim heritage and the Hindu tradition of love poetry.
