Excerpt from Vikramorvas?i?: An Indian Drama; Translated Into English Prose From the Sanskrit of Ka?lida?sa
"I revere the rhythm as well as the rhyme, by which poetry first becomes poetry; but that which is really, deeply, and fundamentally effective, that which is really permanent and furthering is that which remains of the poet when he is translated into prose. Then remains the pure, perfect substance; of which, when absent, a dazzling exterior often contrives to make a false show; and which, when present, such an exterior contrives to conceal."
