When music shall ensue
The step-well water gets when clean
And lilies then blossom therein,
In drones when bees come to lilies,
Ah, music shall madden the bees,
(And me by their maddening din!)

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. A man is lost in imagination: this would happen, and then, and then… . Sure, if wishes were horses, why not? The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:
Vapyoh bhavanti vi-malah,
sfutanti kamalani vapishhu |
Kamaleshu patanti alayah,
karoti sangitam alishu madam || 230 ||
