[mukto-mona] Thoughts on Spring.

Human emotion may not be of much value to a very materialistic mind but a beautiful mind can understand and visualize many of the hidden and exposed charms which make our lives liveable. Spring is such a time when nature comes close to us with its beauty to enchant our sensations. While listening to Tagore's 'Fagunero nobino anonday gaan khani rochilam chonday chonday……………….' A vivid memory of spring into my mind when my home is shivering in a March blizzard in Toronto. This contrast of my thoughts and the realities outside could not deter my spirits to think of a spring which is now spreading its colours in some other corners of the world. Rabindranath Tagore bore the burnt of many criticisms for his very romantic mind while India was under a ruthless colonial rule. Tagore was a poet not a politician therefore his mind was mostly involved in nature and its fathomless beauties. Rebel poet Nazrul Islam, Sukanta Bhattacharya or Pablo Neruda saw life in its crude realities and Tagore saw life in the endless horizon of the eternity. Nature lives and plays in its own ways with colours uninterrupted by the vicissitudes of life. There is a silent rhythm in the eternity which nature exposes through its magical ways.

Spring is a time when nature displays its hidden treasures out of its own pleasure. There is a special need to appreciate and understand nature to make our existence a meaningful one. There is a poet living in our minds we need to awake that sensation to supplement our lives. Spring is not a season for the poets only we all have the right to sing and dance too.

 Akbar Hussain

 
WHEN daisies pied, and violets blue,

And lady-smocks all silver-white,

And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue

Do paint the meadows with delight,

The cuckoo then, on every tree,

Mocks married men, for thus sings he:

        'Cuckoo!

Cuckoo, cuckoo!' O word of fear,

Unpleasing to a married ear.

When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,

And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks,

When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,

And maidens bleach their summer smocks,

The cuckoo then, on every tree,

Mocks married men, for thus sings he:

        'Cuckoo!

Cuckoo, cuckoo!' O word of fear,

Unpleasing to a married ear.

William Shakespeare
