POEM FROM TAMIL LITERATURE - "MONSOON'S FURY : A LOVE STRANDED" (58)
from BEYOND THE OBVIOUS · host Purushothaman C
ABOUT THE POEM: This is a translated version of a fascinating poem from Tamil literature "MONSOON'S FURY: A LOVE STRANDED". It is a serious complaint made by a girl to her friend about her husband who left her in the lurch and went to a distant land. The monsoon terrifies her to the core and genuinely wants to know that the monsoon’s tempestuous pour and the loud thunderous roar threaten him too. "MONSOON'S FURY : A LOVE STRANDED" Oh friend with teeth that sparkle Outshining jasmine in its twinkle, Pray tell, in lands beyond our sight Where my husband went to fight Does the monsoon's tempestuous roar Not stir my husband's soul to the core? What sights did he behold up high Upon the canvas of the sky With weapons meant to terrify Like thunderbolts that light the night Did he witness nature's wrath Unleashed upon his path (what the wife said to her friend)
