> Yet the winds that sigh so  
> As they stir the rose,  
> Wake a sigh from Krishna  
> Wistfuller than those;  
> All their faint breaths swinging  
> The creepers to and fro  
> Pass like rustling arrows  
> Shot from Kama's bow:  
> Thus among the dancers  
> What those zephyrs bring  
> Strikes to Krishna's spirit  
> Like a darted sting.  
> — Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
