The Divine In Satyavan's Dyumatsena

777 Words4 Pages

Savitri, thus, is as much divine and godly, as womanly and wifely. She leaves a lasting impression with the blending of the divine and the human, alternating the two all through the Canto. Here she actualizes what is meant by transfiguration. She is the epitome of the human ideal, all should aspire to reach: “Pure, passionate with the passion of the gods /Heaven’s leaning down to embrace from all sides earth /A quiet rapture, a vast security” (Savitri 12.63-68). She is the completeness of womankind- not only as a wife, she is Satyavan’s “Thy prone possessor, sister of thy soul /And mother of thy wants thou art my world” (12.176-177).
Savitri’s character, as love incarnate (divine and human- complete love informs and uniforms both), is given …show more content…

If change has brought physical benediction and well-being to King Dyumatsena restoring him his eyesight and kingdom, mid the murmur of sunlit leaves upon the forest verge, uniting him with his son, its law is witnessed in both aspects of Nature- in its perennial beauty of the same serene sylvan setting (where they had met and married, and even death did not part them, from), and the movement or the passage of time, within whose frame-work the timeless cosmic drama is enacted. The evening of meeting and returning home recedes into night which inheres the dream of a new dawn. Significantly, this night is not beset with imponderable darkness, as we had found in earlier Cantos, but it is a moon-bathed, a moon-blanched night. The crowd that accompany the King and the Queen is benighted not with the darkness of worldly anxieties (as we had found earlier in ‘The Dream Twilight of the Earthly Real’) but is a brilliant strenuous crowd with torches in their hands, implying, no more are they directionless. The changes are apparent, though suggested in subtle ways; all suggestive of a big change. The Canto heralds a happier age. All digression and description are with a purpose- a buoyant assertion and attestation of life (on earth). Everywhere there are positive indications of

    Similarly, when trying to stay ahead of the rebel forces, Beah again turns to nature to express his inner turmoil and emotional upheaval.

    “I spent the following day roaming through the valley. I stood beside the sources of the Arveiron, which take their rise in a glacier, that with slow pace is advancing down from the summit of the hills, to barricade the valley. The abrupt sides of vast mountains were before me; the icy wall of the glacier overhung me; a few shattered pines were scattered around; and the solemn silence of this glorious presence-chamber of imperial Nature was broken only by the brawling waves, or the fall of some vast fragment, the thunder sound of the avalanche, or the cracking reverberated along the mountains of the accumulated ice, which, through the silent working of immutable laws, was ever and anon rent and torn, as if it had been but a plaything in their hands. These sublime and magnificent scenes afforded me the greatest consolation that I was capable of receiving. They elevated me from all littleness of feeling; and although they did not remove my grief, they subdued and tranquilized it.

    In “Acquainted with the Night”, it embodies the abyss of despair that the narrator finds themselves in. The poem centers on the qualities of the night, and the night’s defining characteristic is its never-ending darkness. The poem’s very title shows how deeply bogged down in darkness the narrator is; the speaker has, ironically, become friends with it. The motif of darkness manifests itself in other examples as well. The speaker writes, “I have outwalked the furthest city light,” showing that he or she has transcended the limits of a normal person’s misfortune and instead exposed himself to complete and utter desperation (3).

This fable-like tone is further described in the prey that the Iguana eats. The anthill is described succinctly with one word, which was “monastic”, which means a monastery or monk-like quality. Not only does this word describe the ant-hill, the inanimate object the ants live in, which are full of cells and chambers like a monastery, but also describes the inhabitants inside the anthill.
