You are a moon

This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.

If a lotus, how would it bloom at night;
if the moon, how shine by day?
The creator has shown great skillfulness
in fashioning your double - virtued face

- Kalidasa, Vidhyakara's Anthology of Sanskrit Poetry (10th Century CE) edited by David HH Engalls.
