Bride of the Sky

By Puran Singh

The Bride of the Sky, a poetic play written in 1924, has remained unpublished to this day. Itis a remarkable piece of literature of its kind, that is, idealistic-romantic. A nymph of the skyfalling in love with a man of the earth affords a theme which has captivated the minds of men inall ages and climes. Venus and Adonis, in the West, and Urvashi and Pururvasa, in India, havegiven to world literature poetry and drama of the noblest stature.In this poetic play the characters have not been given any names (except the nymph inthe second half), on which technical point Puran Singh may be said to have anticipated amodernist tendency. But, as he claims, the characters have persistent individualities which servefor names equally well.The story is simple but has vast dimensions, like a geometric or cubist drawing. Anymph is flying about in the earthly air when a young man sees her. He instantly falls in lovewith her. The nymph responds to his love, comes down to the earth and stays with him for aday and a moonlit night, and then flies back to heaven.
