Seasonal Cycle - Chapter 05 - Winter Comments

Amazingly passionate with a descriptive genius exemplifying the sensual.

intensified will be the disport of lovemaking, for the self-conceit of Love-god occasions anew, but this season alone will be the cause for scorching the hearts of those that are devoid of their loved ones, and thus let this winter season be always there for your propitiousness... the great Kalidasa of India. tony

such a lovely penning...........lovely greatest 10++

WOW! The handsome greatest poet of all time KALIDASA is chosen again as The Classic POTD, most deserving, though ages dead, he IS the greatest, I reckon in Poetry's History all over the world. IMAGINE, he lived ages before Shakespeare and the rest. He is considered to be one of the greatest Sanskrit poets ever. We must read in this language, translated versions are changed a bit, but that can change the meaning what K.wrote

Little is known about Kālidāsa's life. According to legend, he was known for his beauty, which brought him to the attention of Princess Vidyottama and she married him. But since he got none education, she was very disappointed about his hoarseness and the more. So he wanted commit suicide since he was ashamed of being treated inhumanly by his wife. But great drama, he was killed by a courtesan in Sri Lanka during the reign of Kumaradasa.

Kālidāsa is said to have called upon his goddess for help when he was going to commit suicide in a well after he was humiliated by his wife, and was rewarded with a sudden and extraordinary gift of wit. He is then said to have become the most brilliant of the " nine gems" at the court of the king Vikramaditya of Ujjain. Legend also has it that he was murdered by a courtesan in Sri Lanka during the reign of Kumaradasa.Such a saddest ending.

The descriptive beauty of the intimacy of lovers especially in the winter season is enticing the reader so much by the talent and genius of Poet Kalidasa is par excellence in depicting the rich culture of the past as mirror reflection to modern readers sure!

Oh, dear with best thighs, heart-stealing is this environ with abundantly grown stacks of rice and their cobs, or with sugarcane, and it is reverberated with the screeches of ruddy gees that abide hither and thither... now heightened will be passion, thereby this season will be gladdening for lusty womenfolk, hence listen of this season, called Shishira, the Winter... Loveliest and passionate start of this world famous poem by the great Kalidasa.

Awesome description of winter and it's magnanimous effects on along with on eve and adam.A great masterpiece of Kalidasa.

Well penned and spontaneously coming out from the mind. Tremendous tender.
