POEM FROM TAMIL LITERATURE THAT BRINGS OUT THE DEEP AGONY EXPERIENCED BY A LOVE SICK WOMAN
The aesthetic part of the poem AGONIZING NIGHT is that the girl could hear the muffled sound of the chiming of a cow’s bell as the cow is trying to drive out the buzzing flies and in her anxiety wanted to know whether any other soul in the village could hear the sound.
AGONIZING NIGHT
My eyes can't control my tears
I can't bear this torment
furthermore, the horrid isolation
of this bitter cold winter night.
Cold Showers pour incessantly
what's more, the gnawing winds
blow hard through the downpour.
Each time the cow sways her head
to keep at bay the buzzing flies
Her bells start chiming softly.
will there be any other individual
in this town
who hears that melodic sound
