> Thou gavest her those black brows for a bow  
> Arched like thine own, whose pointed arrows seem  
> Her glances, and the underlids that go--  
> So firm and fine--its string? Ah, fleeting gleam!  
> Beautiful dream!  
> Small need of Kama's help hast thou, I trow,  
> — Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
