Hla Stavhana

Famous quotes containing the words hla stavhana and/or stavhana:

    Even as a bride
    has limbs that steal one’s heart
    because of their tenderness,
    so too her waist
    her lover
    and her rivals
    become thin.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Don’t leer at him
    with half-glances.
    Look at him naturally,
    so you can see him well.
    That way,
    you’ll be taken for a virgin.
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
