Poem of the Week: Summer

"The sun blazing fiercely,
the moon longed for eagerly,
deep waters inviting
to plunge in continually,
days drawing to a close in quiet beauty,
the tide of desire running low;
scorching Summer is now here, my love".

-Kālidāsa in the "The Gathering of the Seasons" (Rtusamharam)
