"The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother, the waves are our comrades all" --Explain (Coromandal Fishers)
This extract is taken from prestigious women Sarojini Naidu's poem Coromandal Fishers. It is an address to the Coromandel fishers to call of the duty.
The speaker gives a call to his brother fishermen to get up from their bed. The wind is hushed now, so it is the time for them to gather their nets from the shore and shed them boats free from sailing. They should not delay but make haste. The sea is their mother, brother is the cloud and waves their comrades through this line, the speaker points to the fact that the fishermen will get their companions all the time if they call him.
The sea, the clouds and the waves are part of nature. The fishermen have to depend much upon them because rough sea is the hostile for fishing, agitated clouds are adverse to fishing and the wild waves can be destructive for their profession. Therefore as the fishermen have achieved the friendship of these natural objects, none can disturb them. They should soon join with their comrades in their professions of the sea.
