> So sang he, and I pray that whoso hears  
> The music of his burning hopes and fears,  
> That whoso sees this vision by the River  
> Of Krishna, Hari, (can we name him ever?)  
> And marks his ear-ring rubies swinging slow,  
> As he sits still, unheedful, bending low  
> To play this tune upon his lute, while all  
> Listen to catch the sadness musical;  
> And Krishna wotteth nought, but, with set face  
> Turned full toward Radha's, sings on in that place;  
> May all such souls--prays Jayadev--be wise  
> To lean the wisdom which hereunder lies.  
> — Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
