"Before marriage, the Emperor, instead of telling the Empress that he loved her, had said that he was tired of crossing bridges alone and that from that day onwards he only wanted to cross bridges he came to in his journeys with her.
Do you know what the Empress replied?
She said, bridges are meant for crossing rivers, not for building homes…The Emperor didn’t understand what she had wanted to tell him.
Years later, the Empress jumped from that bridge into the river which still flows under it."
Nirmal Verma, Sir, you are a revelation.
The 'Terminal' even in translation was splendid. Thank you very much indeed.
