A full-length study and new translation of the great Sanskrit poet
Kalidasa's famed Meghaduta (literally "The Cloud Messenger,") The
Cloud of Longing focuses on the poem's interfacing of nature,
feeling, figuration, and mythic memory. This work is unique in its
attention given to the natural world in light of the nexus of
language and love that is the chief characteristic (lakshana) of
the poem. Along with a scrupulous study of the approximately 111
verses of the poem, The Cloud of Longing offers an extended look at
how nature was envisioned by classical India's supreme poet as he
portrays a cloud's imagined voyage over the fields, valleys,
rivers, mountains, and towns of classical India. This sustained,
close reading of the Meghaduta will speak to contemporary readers
as well as to those committed to developing a more in-depth
experience of the natural world. The Cloud of Longing fills a gap
in the translation of classical Indian texts, as well as in studies
of world literature, religion, and into an emerging integrative
environmental discipline.
