For a moment I saw a beautiful moving river.

Then a vast water with no means of crossing it.

 

For a moment, I saw a bush full of opening buds.

Then no roses, no thorns, nothing.

 

For a moment I saw a busy cooking fire.

Then no hearth, no smoke, no flame.

 

I saw the great mother of kings, Kunti.

Then, the next moment, sitting here, is

the helpless old aunt of the potter's wife.
