Give a brief description about the season depicted in the Prologue to Kalidasa's Abhijnana Shakuntalam.

Ans. - Kalidasa has been called the poet of nature. The vitality, vibrancy and vividness have found magnificent expression in his writings, appearing in different dimensions and moods to create a deeply overwhelming influence on both the readers and the spectators. Its spirit both inspires the poet with its mystic spell and offers insights in various human situations and characters. Kalidasa uses natural motifs to obtain clarity of his deep love for and involvement with nature, and those motifs reflect everywhere in his finely chiselled verses and delightful descriptions.

Endowed with that keen observant vision which rarely gifted to a select few, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Guy de Maupassant, Alexander Pushkin being some of them, Kalidasa too demonstrates a unique sharp eye for the details and a talent for harmonizing them into enchanting compositions. He observed the phenomena of living nature most accurately, though his accuracy was, of course, of the poet, not that of a scientist.
