2.46

In truth, this face has not become the deer-marked moon, nor has a pair of blue lotuses / turned into eyes, nor is the slender body fashioned of gold; / yet, his mind deceived by poets in this way, even while knowing the reality, / the foolish man attends upon the fawn-eyed women's body of skin, flesh, and bones.
