Answer 2

Answer:

One of the prominent themes in Sarojini Naidu’s poems is the vibrancy of Indian cultural tradition. In her poem ‘The Bangle Sellers’ she has presented that vibrancy through the various colours of bangles that girls and women of different ages like to wear in a typical Indian society. This very purpose has allowed the poet to present some well-crafted colour imageries throughout the poem.

Silver and blue coloured bangles are compared to the mountain mist because it symbolizes purity.

Silver and blue as the mountain mist

The pink and reddish (flushed) bangles are compared to the buds that peep (as if dreaming) from the calm and quiet bank (tranquil brow) of a river that flows through the woods (woodland stream).

Some are flushed like the buds that dream

On the tranquil brow of a woodland stream,

Again, some of the bangles are glowing (aglow) like the green leaves which are shiny with the bloom (a delicate powdery surface deposit) that cleaves (adheres or sticks) to those new born leaves in a bush.

Some are aglow with the bloom that cleaves

To the limpid glory of new born leaves.
