Hla Stavhana

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

    The full moon
    cannot gain
    a likeness to your face,
    so god destroys it
    time and again,
    as if to create it
    by some other means.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    I’m on my half of the bed,
    my face turned away,
    and my heart’s now aflame with regret.
    So why do you burn my back, too,
    with your hot sighs?
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
