Analysis of Sakontala
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
WOULDST thou the blossoms of spring, as well as the fruits of the autumn,
Wouldst thou what charms and delights, wouldst thou what plenteously, feeds,
Would thou include both Heaven and earth in one designation,
All that is needed is done, when I Sakontala name.
