Hla Stavhana

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

    Son of the village chief,
    you’re pitiless,
    scared of your wife
    and as difficult to see
    as a worm in bitter fruit.
    The village is starving itself over you
    in spite of it all.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Of the two
    who feign anger,
    sulk in mock sleep,
    and give ear
    to the other’s halting sighs,
    who’s the winner?
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
