"Is he a good lover?"
"He's great."
"Is he inventive in bed?"
"Full of ideas."
"Handsome?"
"He beats the god of love himself."
"But does he love you?"
"Like no other."
"If that is so, why are you running around
with other men?
You're bold, you're experienced,
you ought to know about these things."
"There's only one thing wrong with him:
he happens to be
my husband."
- A Poem at the right moment: Remembered poetry from pre-modern South India (page 104)
