Quotable quotes
Goethe on Kalidasa's Shankutala
Wouldst thou the young year's blossoms and the fruits of its decline
And all by which the soul is charmed, enraptured, feasted, fed?
Wouldst thou the earth and heaven itself in one sole name combine?
I name thee, O Śakoontalá! and all at once is said.
The wise man and the rainbow
A wise man, if he sees a rainbow in the sky, must not point it out to anybody.
