In this episode, we relish the metaphors in nature, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 107, penned by an anonymous poet. The poem is set in the ‘Paalai’ region or the drylands and revolves around the theme of separation. Speaking in the voice of the lady to her confidante, the poem expresses the ironic situation the lady finds herself in, after the man parts away to go on a journey.
