Poets should learn with their eyes, the forms of leaves.
They should know how to make people laugh when all are together.
They should go to see what people are really like.
They should know about oceans and mountains in themselves,
and the sun and the moon and the stars.
Their minds should enter into the seasons.
They should go among many people in many places,
and learn their languages.
Kshemendra, 11th century
