♧THE BANGLE SELLERS♧
The first stanza of the poem "THE BANGLE SELLERS" gives us a description of the load of bangles that the bangle seller carries to a temple fair.
The poem begins with the speakers introducing themselves as bangle sellers who their article (bangle) at the temple fair. They call out the people to buy their bangles. These hawkers describe their bangles as delicate, bright, rainbow-tinted circles of light. They advertise by questioning who will buy these bangles for their daughters and wives.
It is concluded that though the speakers of the poem are several, it appears as if there is a single speaker. This is due to the fact that they all have the same purpose and are thus seen singularly.
Also, the Bangles are called 'Lustrous Tokens of Radiant Lives'. It shows us the Indianess of the poem, where bangles are brought on special occasions and are associated with happiness and prosperity.
