"The sky grew dark; the forest too; and Nanda, turning to Radha, said: “The boy is afraid: see him home.” She caught his hand; and he was guided that night, not home, but to love, on the bank of the Jumna." -- The Song of the Cowherd, Ode 1, Jayadeva, c.1175 AD

birds hush, the moon
is tangled in her hair.
