KING Yes. I shall release you - SAKUNTALA When? KING When? When,
like a bee, I kiss the bud of your unbruised lip And flood my
thirsting mouth with nectar. Kalidasa's play about the love of King
Dusyanta and Sakuntala, a hermitage girl, their separation by a
curse, and eventual reunion, is the supreme work of Sanskrit drama
by its greatest poet and playwright (c.4th century CE).
Overwhelmingly erotic in tone, in peformance The Recognition of
Sakuntala aimed to produce an experience of aesthetic rapture in
the audience, akin to certain types of mystical experience. The
pioneering English translation of Sakuntala in 1789 caused a
sensation among European composers and writers (including Goethe),
and it continues to be performed around the world. This vibrant new
verse translation includes the famous version of the story from the
Mahabharata, a poetic and dramatic text in its own right and a
likely source for Kalidasa. The introduction discusses the play in
the aesthetic and cultural context of ancient India. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
