The Tamils used to refer to heaven as "swargam" or "sivanulaku", the abode of Sivan, the supreme God and embodiment of righteousness.

Where is sivanulaku or swargam? Where there is Tamiz, that place is swargam, says perumpulavar Paranjothi Munivar. Let's enjoy his poem from ThiruviLaiyadal PuraaNam, (83).

chiRantha thaNdamiz aalavaay sivanula kaanaaR
puRanththa yangkiya nakarelaam purantharan piraman!
maRantha yangkiya neeminoonaathiya vaanoor
aRantha yangkiya ulakuru vaanathee yaakum.

Shakespeare touches on Nature in his plays. But there is difference between his treatment of Nature and those of the other poets like Shelley.. A stanza from AS YOU LIKE IT is rendered in Tamiz as follows:

The original version runs as follows:

Blow blow thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude,
Heigh ho sing heigh ho
unto the green holly!
Most friendshp is feighning;
most loving mere folly;
Then heigh ho the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Now to the original:

A widow bird sate mourning for her love
Upon a wintry bough;
The frozen wind crept on above
The freezing stream below.

There was no leaf upon the forest bare
No flower upon the ground;
And little motion in the air
Except the mill-wheel's sound. - Shelley

Christina Rosetti was also a nature poet, who wrote lovely poems in English. She lived from 1830 to 1894. I would now render in Tamil two of her stanzas on Summer and submit for your enjoyment.

Now, let us look at the original English version:
CHRISTINA ROSETTI's SUMMER. She was an accomplished poetess.
Her words are simple, straightforward and striking right on point.


Winter is cold-hearted,
Spring is yea and nay,
Autumn is a weathercock
Blown every way
Summer days for me
When every leaf is on the tree;

When Robin's not a beggar
And Jenny Wren's a bride;
Larks singing, singing singing,
Over the wheat fields wide,
and anchored lilies ride
And the pendulum spider
Swings from side to side!!


chennenji - robin; nilvaali - wren (birds).
