Famous quotes containing the word seventh:
“Tired,
she looked up the path
her lover would take
as far as her eyes could see.
On the roads,
traffic ceased
at the end of day
as night slid over the sky.
The travellers pained wife
took a single step towards home,
said, Could he not have come at this instant?
and quickly craning her neck around,
looked up the path again.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“Shes in the house.
Shes at turn after turn.
Shes behind me.
Shes in front of me.
Shes in my bed.
Shes on path after path,
and Im weak from want of her.
O heart,
there is no reality for me
other than she she
she she she she
in the whole of the reeling world.
And philosophers talk about Oneness.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“When my lover came to bed,
the knot came untied
all by itself.
My dress,
held up by the strings of a loosened belt,
barely stayed on my hips.
Friend,
thats as much as I know now.
When he touched my body,
I couldnt at all remember
who he was,
who I was,
or how It was.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
