Description

“How strange that the Creator, who has made you so lovely, should have given you a crazy fellow for a bridegroom ! A fruit which should have adorned the wish-yielding tree is helplessly appearing on a thorny Babula. Taking you in my arms I would sooner fall from a mountain-top, cast myself into the flames or drown myself into the sea. Let my home be ruined and let me earn a bad reputation throughout the world; but in no case would I marry you with this maniac so long as there is life in me.”
