Take leave, after having embraced him, of thy dear friend, the lofty mountain impressed with the adorable footsteps of the Lord of Raghu on its edge—venerated by men. To which when, from season to season, you having come into intimate contact, your Highness’s affection is manifested by shedding hot tears caused by the long separation.

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