THE KURAL
1306. If there were no frowns or pets on the part of the beloved, love would miss its fruits and its half-growns.
1307. There is a pain that belongeth unto bouderie : for one asketh oneself whether reconciliation is near or yet a far way off.
THE HUSBAND TO HIMSELF BUT IN THE HEARING OF THE WIFE
1308. Of what avail is my grieving when there is no loving one nigh to see how much I suffer ?
1309. Water is pleasant only in shady groves : and pettishness hath a charm only in one who loveth ardently.
1310. If my heart still yearneth for her who sootheth me not, it is due to nothing but a foolish longing.
