Bharathi / physics

Was listening to this aweseome song "Nirpathuve" from Bharathi. These few lines struck me hard.

Kaalamendrey oru ninaivum
Kaatchiyendrey pala ninaivum
Koalamum poykaloa?
Angu gunangalum poykaloa?



I was wondering if Bharathi was trying to write about the concept of unification of space and time here. Considering the fact that the paper was published in 1905 and Bharathi lived till 1921, i wouldn't rule out the possibility.

Here is the entire lyrics of this awesome song..


Nirpadhuvey, nadappathuvey, parappadhuvey
Nirpadhuvey, nadappathuvey, parappadhuvey
Neengalellaam sorpanam thaanoa?
Pala thoatra mayakkangaloa?
Sorpanam thaanoa?
Pala thoatra mayakkangaloa?


Karpadhuvey, kaerpadhuvey, karuguvathey
Neengalellaam arpa maayaykaloa?
Ummul aazhntha porul illayoa?
Arpe maayaykaloa?
Ummul aazhntha porul illayoa?

Vaanaghamey, ile veyilae, mara cherivey
Vaanaghamey, ile veyilae, mara cherivey
Neengalellaam kaanalin neeroa?
Verum kaatchi pizhaithaanoa?

Vaanaghamey, ile veyilae, mara cherivey
Neengalellaam kaanalin neeroa?
Verum kaatchi pizhaithaanoa?
Paarpathellaam kanavinai poal
Pudhainthazhinthey poanathanaal
Naanum oar kanavoa?
Indhe njaalamum poythaanoa?



Kaalamendrey oru ninaivum
Kaatchiyendrey pala ninaivum
Koalamum poykaloa?
Angu gunangalum poykaloa?

Kaanbethellaam marayum endraal
Marainthethellaam kaanbam endroa
Naanum oar kanavoa?
Indhe njaalamum poythaanoa?
