Shakuntala Quotes

“Fruit-laden trees bend down to earth;
The water-pregnant clouds hang low;
Good men are not puffed up by power—
The unselfish are by nature so.”
― Arthur W. Ryder, Shakuntala: Kalidasa

“When evening comes, the shadow of the tree
Is cast far forward, yet does not depart;
Even so, belovèd, wheresoe'er you be,
The thought of you can never leave my heart.”
― Arthur W. Ryder, Shakuntala: Kalidasa
