"I Said To Love" Comments

I could make out the core of this poem. Nevertheless, I need to be matured enough to understand, ' Depart then, Love! ... - Man's race shall end, dost threaten thou? '

Amd I said to love not to gain meaninglessly but to gain all as winner

Deep and expertly crafted is this Thomas Hardy's poem. A beautiful work of art...

Part 3: the story of Nala and Damayanti is immortalised by the great poet Unnayi Warrior in his poem/ Aattakkatha, ‘NALACHARITHAM " and in the form of the Kerala ballet dance form KATHAKALI.

Part 2: " Nor swan, "… We know that Hardy was well-acquainted with Indian epics and literature. The reference to "swan", no doubt points to the story of Emperor Nala, who sends a Swan, as his emissary to Princess Damayanti, his love-interest. The story forms part of the epic, Mahabharata

This is a lovely poem of Hardy, which I read and enjoyed in my younger days. The poetic impunity attached to it is inimitable. More…
