The Golden Threshold

""The Golden Threshold"" is a collection of poems by the Indian poet and political activist Sarojini Naidu. First published in 1905, the book is divided into two parts. The first part contains poems that reflect on the beauty of nature, the joys and sorrows of love, and the struggles of life. The second part is a series of poems that explore themes of Indian mythology and history, including the life of the Buddha and the story of Shakuntala. Naidu's writing is characterized by its lyrical beauty and its celebration of India's rich cultural heritage. She was one of the most prominent voices in the Indian independence movement, and her poetry often reflects her political and social concerns. ""The Golden Threshold"" remains a landmark work in Indian literature and a testament to Naidu's enduring legacy as a poet and activist.Whither dost thou hide from the magic of my flute-call? In what moonlight-tangled meshes of perfume, Where the clustering keovas guard the squirrel's slumber, Where the deep woods glimmer with the jasmine's bloom?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
