Another of those old poems struck me this morning. I think this is from a collection of poems called “Naanmani kadigai”, and I first read this poem when in class 7. Without intending to be boastful, I really am amazed at how many (useless) things I can remember so many years later. I do not recall the meaning fully, but I have attempted one anyway.
நாற்றம் உரைக்கும் மலருண்மை; கூறிய
மாற்றம் உரைக்கும் வினைநலம் – தூக்கின்
அகம் பொதிந்த தீமை மனமுரைக்கும்; முன்னம்
முகம் போல முன்னுரைப்பது இல்
It translates to “You can divine a flower by its scent.
