Two similies from the poem Indian Weavers
Answers
In her poem 'The Indian Weavers' Sarojini Naidu paints the picture of Indian weavers who make clothes for people of all age groups..First she wants to know from the weavers why they make a pleasant garment at dawn. .They tell her that they weave colorful robes of an infant. The weavers, then, tell her at the fall of night they weave bright purple green marriage-veils of a queen. In contrast to her first two questions when she asks the weavers what they weave in white in the chill moonlight, they tell her that it is a dead man's shroud.
She captures the rich imagery by use of different colors according to the stages of a man. While childhood and its happiness is presented by blue, grandeur of youth is depicted by green and purple peacock feathers. The white shroud symbolizes coldness and peace associated with death.
