Thirukkural-On Virtue-Impermanence Of The World-Kural 334
Impermanence Of World
oi-Staff
The day shows itself as an entity, but in reality it is just The relentless movement of a saw, that cuts through life.
The day is not just the entity that it appears to be; it is the inexorable movement of a saw that cuts through life. This interpretation is based on Parimelalagar's. Manakudavar would interpret the expression 'Naalena onrupoal kaatti' as meaning, showing the day itself as an object of enjoyment. The comparison of time to a saw is found also in Sangam literature in the following line of Kurunthogai.
'Vaalpoal vaikarai vandhanraal'
Milton,
the
doyen
among
English
poets,
has
given
expression
to
the
same
thought
thus
–
'The
scythe
of
time
mows
down'.
