THOUGHT OF THE DAY- THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Sanskrit verses in the spring ....
Spring's Loveliness with woman 's wiles acquainted , with flowers of Tilaka adorned her head ,
Made beauty - spots of clinging bees , and painted fresh mango- blossom lips with morning - red ...
When , in the forest of their meditation , the holy hermits saw the untimely spring,
Their mind were hard- pressed to resist temptation , to keep their thoughts from Love's imagining ...
From the same flower - cup which his love had savoured the black bee sipped the nectar as a kiss ;
While the black doe ,by her own consort favoured , scratched by his antlers , closed her eyes in bliss ...
from Kalidasa's Kumara-Sambhava
