Hla Stavhana

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

    These things shine:
    The sports of a lord,
    the jealousy of a beloved woman,
    the forbearance of the powerful,
    the speech of the wise,
    and the silence of fools.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The anger
    that my friends
    planted in my heart
    when they somehow found
    a hole in it
    ran off
    like an illicit lover
    as soon as I saw my man.
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
