Question

Sarojini Naidu was educated in her early years under her father‟s own care. He wanted

her to become a great mathematician or scientist but she loved to dream and write

poems. She was hardly eleven when she wrote her first poem.

At thirteen she wrote a long poem in the manner of famous English poets. After her

matriculation in India she went to England for higher education in London. She met sir

Edmund Gosse a distinguished man of letters. He was impressed by her knowledge and

intelligence. He was surprised to see that she had written poems in flawless English but

felt disappointed to find that they had nothing of the east in them. They were all about

English sights from this day onwards; she devoted herself to writing verses about India.
