Surely the mountain whose sides are shaded with Mango trees, which shine brilliant with ripe fruit, will attain a condition when thou hast climbed to its top (thy colour like a shining lock of hair) worthy to be contemplated by the god-pair; like a breast of the earth, dark in the middle, and white in its remaining expansion.

Henry Aimé Ouvry 1868, The Megha Dūta, or Cloud Messenger
