Translations
from Sanskrit and Other Languages
Kalidasa
Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
On Fools and Folly
Some minds there are to Art and Beauty dead,
Music and poetry on whose dull ear
Fall barren. Horns grace not their brutish head,
Tails too they lack, yet is their beasthood clear.
That Heaven ordained not upon grass their feasts,
Good fortune is this for the other beasts.
