Wisdom this Brahmin gleaned from Friedrich Ruckert

Love is only self-sovereign if untimely torn
From womb or tomb or eyes flashing scorn
It can not live, it must not die
Lest Grief but bore God's crashing lie.

Envoi
Prince! English is a Queen against whom you thus sinned
Gandhi the abortion of your Kaiser-e-Hind
