Kalidasa
Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
On Virtue
Legends of golden hills the fancy please,
But though they were real silver and solid gold,
Yet are the trees they foster only trees.
Moloy shall have my vote with whom, ’tis told,
Harbouring the linden, pine and basest thorn
Ennobled turn to scent and earth adorn.
