Appreciation of the poem :
1. The poem consists of two types of imagery, they are a. Visual Imagery and b. Auditory Imagery.
2. the Phrases ; “shining loads” ,“circles of light” ,”silver and blue as the mountain mist”, ”flushed like the buds that dream”, “Like fields of sunlit corn”, “like the flame of her marriage fire” , “Purple and gold-flecked” – all come under the Visual Imagery.
3. The Auditory Image which is used to indicate the sound of worn bangles is ‘tinkling’
4. The home town of Sarojini Naidu is Hyderabad, we witness the local tradition of bnajaras in the bangle sellers.
5. Many splendid metaphors are used to describe the colors of bangles. Rainbow-tinted circles of light, Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
6. Similes are also used ; Some are flushed like the buds that dream, Some are like fields of sunlit corn, Silver and blue as the mountain mist.
7. maiden, bride and the woman who has journeyed the mid way of life ; these words explain the important stages in a woman’s life and the importance the role of the bangles would play.
8. The paradox ‘bridal laugh and bridal tear’ intensifies the attachment with the different colors of bangles to indicate the different moods and different phases in woman’s life.
9. Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,
For happy daughters and happy wives.
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.
Some are purple and gold flecked grey
For she who has journeyed through life midway,
Vivid imagery is exploited to the poetic effect as in the above stanzas different colors of bangles represent different moods in human life.
10. Poem give ample scope for feministic explanation. As in the final stanza the vital role assigned to women is explained with a tinge of irony.
Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
And worships the gods at her husband’s side
10 Poet-critics like R.Parthasararthy have commented that her writing is artificial and building the cult of phony poetics.
11. Poem has the rhyme scheme ‘aa-bb -cc-dd’; it gives a melodic flow to the poem.
