"King: [Making a movement to arrest her departure, but checking himself. Aside.] Ah! a lover's feelings betray themselves by his gestures. When I would fain have stayed the maid, a sense Of due decorum checked my bold design; Though I have stirred not, yet my mien betrays My eagerness to follow on her steps."
Shakuntala (play)

January 1, 1970
