Hla Stavhana

Famous quotes containing the words hla stavhana and/or stavhana:

    When love is broken,
    then patched up
    and cruelty is obvious,
    like water boiled,
    then cooled,
    its taste goes flat.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Her man falling asleep,
    limp from dragging a plow sunk in mud,
    the slattern curses the rains,
    her pleasures unfinished.
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
