Literally rendered, it would be "juice-blind". This can scarcely be intelligible to the general European reader. Hence the long-winded adjectival clause I have used. The first line is evidently pleonastic. Sanskrit, however, being very copious, repetitions can scarcely be marked at the first glance. Literally rendered, the original is "Juice-blind and excited with rage."
Thus I dilated upon the beauties of our language, its wealth of metaphor and adjectival possibilities, its intricacies and pitfalls, until the sun was high and my throat parched. "There, Diana," I concluded, "here endeth our first lesson for the present. I trust you have not found me too discursive?" "Well," said she, knitting her black brows thoughtfully, "I'm not sure.
