    LOVE & DEATH
    I dreamed my love had set thy spirit free,
    Enfranchised thee from Fate's o'ermastering power,
    And girt thy being with a scatheless dower
    Of rich and joyous immortality;
    Of Love, I dreamed my soul had ransomed thee,
    In thy lone, dread, incalculable hour
    From those pale hands at which all mortals cower,
    And conquered Death by Love, like Savitri.
    When I awoke, alas, my love was vain
    E'en to annul one throe of destined pain,
    Or by one heart-beat to prolong thy breath;
    O Love, alas, that love could not assuage
    The burden of thy human heritage,
    Or save thee from the swift decrees of Death.
    This sonnet from The Bird of Time cm easily be rated as one af Sarojini's finest
    poems, though few critics have considered it so. Its form is Petrarchan, with the
    rhyme scheme abbaabba ccdeed. The poem depicts the ideal of love; like Savitri, the poet dreams that her love has freed her beloved from death. But the sestet reveals
    the hard and cruel reality which forces the poet to accept that her love hasn't been
    able to mitigate even one throe of pain, let alone bring the beloved back from death.
    The poem is modern in spirit in that it refutes the ideal represented by Savitri. You
    will recall that in the latter story, Savitri manages to win back life for her dead
    husband Satyavan. Sarojini's poem makes an interesting comparison with Toru
    Dutt's "Sita" and Sri Aurobindo's Savitri.
    Like all good sonnets, Love and Death contains an argument, a debate. The debate is
    between a certain idea of love, which asserts that love conquers all odds, even
    triumphing over death. The speaker imagines that her love gives her beloved the
    matchless dowry of immortality which engirts him from the cruel hands of
    overmastering Fate. She dreams that her love has ransomed him from Death itself,
    like Savtri had saved Satyavan. On the 9th line, the poem turns. Dream over, the poet
    wakes up to the harsh reality: her love has been unable to annul even one throe of
    predestined pain, to prolong her lover's breath even by one heart-beat. To all
    appearances, then, this is a sad, pessimistic, even brutally realistic poem. It shows
    that Sarojini was capable of some hard-headed, even heart-rending, engagement with
    reality. Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, in his characteristically brutal fashion, dismissed
    Sarojini's poetry as "mellifluous drivel," but when we read this poem, we get a
    different impression. Instead of regarding her as an incurable romantic or light-
    hearted warbler of innocent rhymes, we are invited by poems such as these to
    reassess our understanding of her poetic ouvre, indeed to take her more seriously as a
    poet who was actively engaged with the real world in which she lived.
