On thee depends the fruitfulness of the soil! With these thoughts, imbibed from the eyes of the country women, who are unacquainted with the play of the eye-brows, and which are moist with affection, ascend, when you have reached the fields of Māla, that smell sweet, having been newly turned up by the plough, a little to the West, with a light movement, and from thence bearing to the Northward.

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