Melody of Wounds: Revealing The Wounds on Civilization
Get PDFNar Deo Sharma, the poet translator and critic of par-excellence is distinguished for scaling the literary work from the stand-point of linguistic and stylistic analysis.

Image of Indian Woman In Woman\u27s Poetry
No full textThe voices of the women are reverberating in the for a long time and throughout history, but only in songs sung to highlight spiritual yearning or in lyrics and passionate love songs. For a long time, Indian women had been engulfed in the whirlpool of pain and suffering that was orthodox society. Despite the fact that much has been done to alleviate their plight since the time of William Bentick to curb the evil practises against women, and that social reformer like Raja Ram Mohan Roy advocated for widow remarriages and the restoration of her rights. However, the pace of reformation remains slow. Women\u27s voices have yet to be heard, despite the fact that women in India have been fortunate enough to hold high and honourable positions of power. However, the fact remains that traditional bound society has yet to fully liberate Indian women. There are undeniable differences between male and female temperaments, and these differences are evident in everything that both sexes attempt. Aside from the necessary technical standards, what matters in art is the expression of the individual temperament. This paper attempts to map the image of Women in the poems written by the women

In India both of them are considered equal to God. For the attainment of God, one should whole-heartedly devote to Him. If one loses one’s life in obedience to Him, his greatest obligation is done. Shravan Kumar, an ideal son sacrifices his whole life for the service of his parents and also breathes his last in their service. Chastity and love is another name of Savitri and Sita, Savitri falls in love with Satyavan and decides to marry him.

Lyric Lute: A Sheen of Subjectivism and Lyricism
Get PDFMahendra Bhatnagar’s ninth collection of poems in English translated by Dr. Shaleen Kumar Singh is unique in itself as it has the brilliance of subjectivism and lyricism in his poems which is quite uncommon in the literary world of present time. It is often seen that most of the poets plainly describe the thoughts and particular situation which strike than. They feel no need to mix their own personality in them. So it can be judged in the light of this new trend of poetry that no feeling penned in the poems can have any outpouring of poets’ heart. These poems can be termed as the poems bare of poet’s personal predicament and aspiration for a particular emotion or scene. But the poems of Mahendra Bhatnagar in present collection completes this lack of modern poetry, though his collections are translated from Hindi into English but this work of conversion is done so dexterously that the beauty of his original poems is tried to be maintained to its full one more fact is also noteworthy here that the poems of Mahendra Bhatnagar are in itself lyrical, his thoughts are the natural flow of emotions in which lyricism simply mixes with it

Exploring Themes of Death in the Poetry of Clara Codd and Dorothy Codd: A Spiritual and Humanistic Perspective
Get PDFRecalling the poetry\u27s theme of death, this research analyses how leading figures in the Theosophical Society- Clara Codd and Dorothy Codd- addressed it. Built on theosophical principles, Clara Codd interprets death as a calm return to ascended spiritual realms. In poems such as He Cometh, she uses the image of darkness turning into day to stand for the progress from soul-darkness. There, she emphasizes the re-birth cycle of life, and that our soul never dies from where we accept comfort from a spiritualist point of view, which takes death not as finishing but merely evolving to something more significant. Dorothy Codd takes your heart and soul below the surface of humanity in her collection Darker Matters to explore what it feels like when you are dying on a psychological and emotional level. In her works, such as “During A Vigil”, she looks at the sadness, loss and continuity of life with deceased people. Dorothy approaches her account in death and the Compass with a certain pungency that assuredly will hit home for some, as she contemplates life on Earth after death; what does it mean to live once someone close suddenly leaves us? Key themes of Dorothy Codd and her death inquiry; influences upon Clara Dodd\u27s portrayal of death due to Theosophical upbringing and how their views differ and intersect are some research issues that later surface. Clara leans on spiritual transcendence, while Dorothy favors emotional connectedness with intriguing juxtapositions that balance our understanding of death as a unique journey for each individual (one which adds new shades to what has become hackneyed in some respects). These poems explore death in all its guises and with an emotional complexity that makes them more profound than mere intellectual exercises
