Kalidasa
Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
On Fools and Folly
She with whom all my thoughts dwell, is averse,–
She loves another. He whom she desires
Turns to a fairer face. Another worse
For me afflicted is with deeper fires.
Fie on my love and me and him and her!
Fie most on Love, this madness’ minister!
