A description of the experience
Tirrukural, the - Book 3 Nostalgia
1201. Love is sweeter than wine-its mere thought
Intoxicates.
1202. Love is ever sweet-thought-filled
Parting has no sorrow.
1203. My sneeze coming up, does not arrive:
So perhaps, my lover's thoughts of me.
1204. Do I dwell in his thoughts always
As he in mine?
1205. Is he not ashamed to keep me out
And come always to me?
1206. I live always on my past days with him-
What else have I?
1207. When remembering, my burnt heart hardly lives,
What will happen if I forget?
1208. However much I think of him, he isn't vexed-
Isn't it great of him?
1209. My dear life dies at the thought of his coldness
To whom once we were not two but one.
1210. O moon, shine on, so that in you
My eyes meet his, who gone, yet stays.
