[The Poison Tree by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee]@TWC D-Link bookThe Poison Tree CHAPTER XVI 7/14

I used to say, 'If anyone loves let him love; I shall never love any one.' Fate said, 'Wait, you will see by and by.' In trying to seize the robber of other's wealth, I have lost my own heart.
What a face! what a neck! what a figure! is there another man like him? That the fellow should tell _me_ to bring Kunda to him! Could he set no one else this task? I could have struck him in the face! I have come to love him so dearly, I could even find pleasure in striking him.
But let that pass.
In that path there is danger; I must not think of it.
