Pranam
A sanguine description of the nature which promptly provoked me to
think of this verse of Subramanya Bharathi; for the sake of those who may
not know Tamil reproduced with the courtesy of our member and as translated
by PR chander k R IRS 271220

English Meaning
1.I need a small piece of land , Oh divine mother ,A small piece of land,
and there, In the midst of that small piece of land you should build me a
house with, Four pretty pillars and several floors and there near the small
pond, Coconut tree leaves should shine in small plants.
2.Need ten or twelve coconut trees ;moon light should come Like a shining
pearl and there the soft song of the nightingales, Should come and fall in
my ears to make mind happy ; swaying light breeze should blow to make me
further happy.
3.To mix music there , there should be a virtuous wife there, and in our
play together , you should bring and give poems, And in that forest
expanse, Oh mother you should guard us all , And by the great knowledge of
verses , you should take care of this world .
KR: Bharathi had a dream of nature though died a pauper only with the
richness of his poems left behind; unsung as a hero because he belonged to
a caste ,uncared for by the falsified Dravidians. His dreams are
significant because he never let the nature as a mere one but saw the
Goddess in that and even in that nature His nation to be guarded and taken
care of exposing herself as the one.
