Having stood awhile before it, this sweet padanus fructifying cause, with suppressed tears, this servant of the King of Kings fell into a long meditation. “At the view of a Cloud the condition of a happy one becomes changed to a strong emotion; how much more that of a banished man longing to embrace the neck?”

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