A description of the experience
Tirrukural, the - Book 3 The Lonely Anguish
1191. Theirs is the stoneless fruit of love
Whose love is returned.
1192. Like the timely rain to the earth
Is the beloved's love to his love.
1193. The proud boast "We shall live"
Is for those whose love is returned.
1194. Even those loved are luckless
Unless loved by those they love.
1195. What use is love
Unreturned?
1196. Love one-sided is bitter.
Balanced, sweet.
1197. Can't the God of Love, lodged in me alone,
See my pallor and distress?
1198. Hard is the heart that can survive
Without a word of love.
1199. Unloved as I am, it is sweet to hear
About my beloved.
1200. My heart, you tell your anguish to the heartless-
Bless you, go fill the sea!
