Sarojini Naidu’s Poem ‘Life’-An Analytical Study
The poem “Life” by Sarojini Naidu addresses children and their perception of life. It begins by saying that children have not truly experienced life yet. They see life as a beautiful formation of dreams, like stalactites in a cave, or a joyful carnival full of carefree happiness that surrounds their hearts like waves in the sea. They see life in vibrant colors like amber and amethyst.
However, the poet tells the children that they are merely existing, not truly living until a powerful moment comes along and stirs their hearts to awaken and crave love. They will yearn passionately for things that cause them intense pain and suffering, represented by their brows burning with blood-red suffering.
The poet suggests that true life is not just about dreams and joyous moments, but also about facing great sorrow, fear, and challenges. It is about enduring years of shattered dreams and struggling against desires and conflicts. Only when they have experienced the wounds inflicted by strong desires and the weariness that comes from battling through hardships, can they truly say that they have lived. This, according to the poet, is what life is all about.
In summary, the poem ‘Life’ conveys the idea that life is not just about pleasant dreams and happiness, but also about facing and overcoming challenges and suffering. It encourages the reader to embrace the full spectrum of experiences to truly live. 0 0 0.
