What was the first poem of Sarojini Naidu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sarojini Naidu is also well acclaimed for her contribution to poetry. Her poetry had beautiful words that could also be sung. In 1905, the first volume of her collection of poems was published as The Golden Threshold. Two more volumes were published: The Bird of Time (1912) and The Broken Wing in (1917). Later, her The Wizard Mask and A Treasury of Poems were published. In 1961 her daughter, Padmaja published a collection of her previously unpublished poems under the title, The Feather of the Dawn.

  • The Golden Threshold (1905)
  • The Bird of Time: Songs of Life, Death & the Spring (1912)
  • The Broken Wing: Songs of Love, Death and the Spring (1917)
  • The Sceptred Flute: Songs of India (1928)
  • The Feather of the Dawn (1961)
  • The Gift of India

Naidu writes: :Shall hope prevail where clamorous hate is rife,Shall sweet love prosper or high dreams have placeAmid the tumult of reverberant strife'Twixt ancient creeds, 'twixt race and ancient race,That mars the grave, glad purposes of life,Leaving no refuge save thy succoring face?

Naidu said, '"When there is oppression, the only self-respecting thing is to rise and say this shall cease today, because my right is justice."Naidu adds, "If you are stronger, you have to help the weaker boy or girl both in play and in the work."

Without offending, would like to add the following:

Her sweet name before marriage was Sarojini Devi, which many prefer. She was the real Nightingale of India. She is aptly called so, for almost all her songs are born from exquisite tunes. Their rich musical content has not yet been appreciated enough. Queen Gulnar's Daughter, Coromandel Fishers and The Indian Weavers are just three of her exquisite musical pieces. Imagine a thirteen year old girl sitting on a cattamaran in the Bay of Bengal playing and enjoying the rhythm of the tides and waves! That is how Coromandel Fishers happened. She is equalled in tunes, only by Rabindranadha Tagore, another Bengali and the National Poet of India.

What is the significance of lady Catherine's character?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lady Catherine offers an interesting counterpoise to Mrs Bennet.

The Bennet family and the Darcy family have certain things in common. One of these things is that Wickham tried to elope with girls in both. Another, which does not come to attention until Lizzy makes a point of it, is that despite the difference in wealth, the two families are of the same social class. But another, and it is very important, is that the faults Darcy sees in Mrs Bennet are reflected in abundance by his mother's sister.

It would be interesting to know what goes through Darcy's mind as he contemplates the fact that his family is really no better than the Bennets in any way aside from wealth. He loves his sister, and so he must forgive Lydia at least to some degree. He has complained about Mrs Bennet, but must live with the fact that Lady Catherine travelled some distance to confront Lizzy over a rumor of their engagement. Ultimately, the fact that he has to contemplate these things is important to overcoming his own foolish unwillingness to see Lizzy as an equal.

What is one of lady Diana's favourite poems by Tagore?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My guess would be: Free Love

By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world.

But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs,

and thou keepest me free.

Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone.

But day passes by after day and thou art not seen.

If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart,

thy love for me still waits for my love.

When was the first skateboard created?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to skateboard.about.com, skateboarding was invented in the 1950s so the skateboard would have been invented at that time.

in 1920's when little kids used to make soap box cars but they kept falling apart so they rode around on the boards that were left.

Well, skateboards were invented in the 1960's.Modern skateboards didn't come around until the 1980's. It also depends on the type of skateboard since there are numerous types for different uses and kinds of tricks.
