Pàgina x - And if you should fail — utterly fail to get that reasonable wealth,' she said earnestly, ' don't be perturbed. The truly great stand upon no middle ledge ; they are either famous or unknown.
Pàgina 113 - Sacontala is going to the palace of her wedded lord ; she, who drank not, though thirsty, before you were watered ; she, who cropped not, through affection for you, one of your fresh leaves, though she would have been pleased with such an ornament for her locks ; she, whose chief delight was in the season when your branches are spangled with flowers ! CHORUS OF WOODNYMPHS.
Pàgina xxxi - ... settle on Sakuntala, but she was not even conscious of it. Like the simple wild deer, like the mountain spring, she stood forth pure in spite of mud. Kalidas has let his hermitage-bred youthful heroine follow the unsuspecting path of Nature; nowhere has he restrained her. And yet he has developed her into the model of a devoted wife, with her reserve, endurance of sorrow, and life of rigid spiritual discipline.
Pàgina xi - Rarely has a man walked our earth who observed the phenomena of living nature as accurately as he, though his accuracy was of course that of the poet, not that of the scientist. Much is lost to us who grow up among other animals and plants; yet we can appreciate his
Pàgina xix - In truth there are two unions in Sakuntala ; and the motif of the play is the progress from the earlier union of the First Act, with its earthly unstable beauty and romance, to the higher union in the heavenly hermitage of eternal bliss described in the last Act. This drama...
Pàgina 319 - As to vismrita: see p. 162, note 1 at ead. " Gwru-ldgliavct is properly a kind of abstract noun formed from the Dwandwa guru-laghu, the vriddhi taking place in the second member of the compound instead of the first. The sense •will then be, I ask your reverence as to the greater and the less [ie the heavier and the lighter] sin.
Pàgina i - The richness of creative fancy which he displays in these, and his skill in the expression of tender feeling, assign him a high place among the dramatists of the world. The harmony of the poetic sentiment is nowhere disturbed by anything violent or terrifying. Every passion is softened without being enfeebled. The ardour of love never goes beyond aesthetic bounds ; it never maddens to wild jealousy or hate. The torments of sorrow are toned down to a profound and touching melancholy. It was here at...
Pàgina xxviii - ... in winning her — One sudden gust of youthful impulse had in a moment given her up to Dushyanta, but that was not the true , the full winning of her. The best means of winning is by devotion, by tapasya. What is easily gained is as easily lost Therefore, the poet has made the two lovers undergo a long and austere tapasya that they may gain each other truly eternally.
Pàgina xxxiv - I find it hard to believe that any lesser artist could pad such a masterpiece, and pad it all over, without making the fraud apparent on almost every page. The briefer version, on the other hand, might easily grow out of the longer, either as an acting text, or as a school-book. We cannot take leave of Shakuntala in any better way than by quoting the passage 1 in which LeVi's imagination has conjured up " the memorable premiere when Shakuntala saw the light, in the presence of Vikramaditya and his...
Pàgina 49 - The body (of the hunter) having the waist [belly, abdomen] attenuated by the removal of fat becomes light (and) fit for exertion ; moreover the spirit of Irving creatures is observed (to be) affected with various emotions, through fear and anger ; and that is the glory of the archers when the arrows fall true on the moving mark. Falsely indeed do they call "hunting a vice ; : n wrfrr n ^fo ^ u 41*^44 i I tf nrq -*d<eu I ^TEI where (is) there such a recreation as this ? ' Mtdat, ' adeps or fat/ or...
