Toru Dutt | The Lotus | A Critical Analysis
‘The Lotus’ by Toru Duttis a romantic poem in which the poet glorifies the beauty of the lotus. It is highly imaginative and full of vivid imagery.
First, the poet Toru Dutt holds up a quarrel between Rose and lily. He says that both the flowers are beautiful and both desire to be the queen of flowers. Many poets and minstrels also have sung a song in praise of them. Some minstrels claim rose to be the lovelier, and some claim lily to be lovelier than the rose. Thus strife had been running between the two regarding their beauty. Love came to Flora, the goddess of flowers, and asked her to give such a flower that might be as delicious as the rose and as stately as the lily in her beauty and pride. Then Love choose the color and prayed to Flora that the new flower in color should be a mixture of the redness of the rose and the whiteness of the lily. Flora granted the prayer and gave birth to lotus, which according to the poet is the queen of all flowers. And thus the strife between Rose and lily to be the queen of flowers came to an end.
‘The Lotus’ is the national flower of India. By writing a poem on a lotus the poet glorifies the lotus and thus she glorifies India and her nature.
‘The Lotus’ is a romantic poem in which the poetess glorifies beauty in nature. His nature is sensuous like that of John Keats.
The language of the poem is not so easy. The images in the poem are very rich and charming. 0 0 0
