    of a cloud scattering rain
    at midnight
    and thinking for an eternity
    on his absent young wife,
    a traveller heaved a sigh
    and with a flood of tears
    howled the whole night long.
    Now, villagers won’t let him stay
    in their place anymore.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “That is mere sentimentality that lies abed by day and thinks itself white, far from the tan and callus of experience.”
