Read the passage from the poem Meghaduta.

Āshādha's ending on the mountain found
him weakened, gold ring slipping from his wrist.
And mixed his pleasure as a cloud came down
so playfully to hug the summit mist. . . .

With now the rainy month stood close at hand,
to fresh Kutaja blooms he adds his plea,
and asks most courteously the cloud bring news
of welfare to his loved-one—words that she,
revived to hear of him, will understand.

–Meghaduta,
Kalidasa (translated by Colin John Holcombe)
