Georgian Poetry: A Short Note

Hareshwar Roy,
Georgian Poetry: A Short Note

The Decadent movement was a late 19th century artistic and literary movement. It followed an aesthetic ideology of artificiality. The Georgian poetry is a reaction against that decadent transitional poetry. It is that poetry which was produced in the early 20th century by British poets. This poetry was lyrical in nature. It flourished in the reign of George V. The Georgians endeavoured to restore the simplicity and naturalness. They avoided the use of archaic diction and composed neat and melodious poems. Walter de la Mare, William Henry Davies, Rupert Brooke, John Drinkwater, Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, Harold Monro, Sir Edward Marsh, Masefield, Lascelles Abercrombie, Hilaire Belloc, Edmund Charles Blunden, Ralph Hodgson, James Elroy Flecker, Robert Graves, Siegfried Sassoon, Sir J.C. Squire and Edward Thomas etc are some important Georgian poets.

हिंदी अनुवाद: डिकैडेंट आंदोलन 19वीं सदी के अंत का एक कलात्मक और साहित्यिक आंदोलन था। इसने कृत्रिमता की सौंदर्यवादी विचारधारा का अनुसरण किया। जॉर्जियाई कविता उस डिकैडेंट आंदोलन के खिलाफ एक प्रतिक्रिया है। यह वह कविता है जो 20वीं सदी के प्रारंभ में ब्रिटिश कवियों द्वारा रची गई थी। इस काव्य की प्रकृति गेय थी। यह जॉर्ज पंचम के शासनकाल में फली-फूली। जॉर्जियाई लोगों ने सादगी और स्वाभाविकता को बहाल करने का प्रयास किया। उन्होंने पुरातन शैली के प्रयोग से परहेज किया और साफ-सुथरी और मधुर कविताओं की रचना की। वाल्टर डे ला मेयर, विलियम हेनरी डेविस, रूपर्ट ब्रुक, जॉन ड्रिंकवाटर, विल्फ्रिड विल्सन गिब्सन, हेरोल्ड मोनरो, सर एडवर्ड मार्श, मेसफील्ड, लास्केल्स एबरक्रॉम्बी, हिलायर बेलोक, एडमंड चार्ल्स ब्लंडेन, राल्फ हॉजसन, जेम्स एलरॉय फ्लेकर, रॉबर्ट ग्रेव्स, सीगफ्राइड सैसून, सर जे.सी. स्क्वॉयर और एडवर्ड थॉमस आदि कुछ महत्वपूर्ण जॉर्जियाई कवि हैं।

On the Rule of the Road by A.G. Gardiner: A complete Study

Hareshwar Roy,
On the Rule of the Road: A.G. Gardiner A. TEXT: A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for foot-passengers, but she replied: "I'm going to walk where I like. We've got liberty now." It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger to walk down the middle of the road it also entitled the cab-driver to drive on the pavement, and that the end of such liberty would be universal chaos. Everybody would be getting in everybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy. There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket, and it is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means. It means that in order that the liberties of all may be p...

The Cherry Tree (Text) by Ruskin Bond: A Complete Study

Hareshwar Roy,
  The Cherry Tree:  Ruskin Bond One day, when Rakesh was six, he walked from the Mussoorie bazaar eating cherries. They were a little sweet, a little sour; small, bright red cherries, which had come all the way from the Kashmir valley.Here in the Himalayan foothills where Rakesh lived, there were not many fruit trees. The soil was stony, and the dry cold winds stunted the growth of most plants. But on the more sheltered slopes there were forests of oak and deodar. Rakesh lived with his grandfather on the outskirts of Mussoorie, just where the forest began. Rakesh was on his way home from school when he bought the cherries. He paid fifty paisa for the bunch. It took him about half an hour to walk home, and by the time he reached the cottage there were only three cherries left. ‘Have a cherry, grandfather,’ he said, as soon as he saw grandfather in the garden. Grand father took one cherry and Rakesh promptly ate the other two. He kept the last seed in his mouth for some time, ro...
