(Edited version; the definition of anuSTubh is 
way more complicated than I first thought, LoL!)

BTW, my Sanskrit version of the Yffing suutra seems to
be in trochaic tetrameter ("Kalevala-meter"). Here it
is in rot13:

xnnlnnxnnfunlbU fnzonaqun - yntuh-ghhyn-fnznncnggv

BTW, my Sanskrit version of the Yffing suutra seems to
be in trochaic tetrameter (Kalevala-meter; anuStup [anuStubh]; most
of e.g. the Giitaa seems to be in this meter, in Classical
Sanskrit according to Wiki called 'shloka'). Here it
is in rot13:

xnnlnnxnnfunlbU fnzonaqun - yntuh-ghhyn-fnznncnggv

[FairfieldLife] Re: the door closes with a gentle sigh

[Robin Carlsen]

A Pastoral Nun

Finally, in the last year of her age,
Having attained a present blessedness,
She said poetry and apotheosis are one.

This is the illustration that she used:
If I live according to this law I live
In an immense activity, in which

Everything becomes morning summer, the hero,
The enraptured woman, the sequestered night,
The man that suffered lying there at ease,

Without his envious pain in body, in mind,
The favourable transformations of the wind
As of a general being or human universe.

There was another illustration, in which
The two things compared their tight resemblances:
Each matters only in that which it conceives.

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream.
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Quite intriguing that a Russian band has taken its name
from the Finnish (more accurately, Karelian) folk epic.

BTW, seem to recall that according to Finnish theosophists,
Kalevala is actually an allegory, or somesuch, of the human
body! (Cf. Sanskrit 'kalevara', 'body'...)

OMG-Ho ho ho! Robin Goodfellow
my dearest Madam Judith, [:D]  hey Jude, dear Xenophaneros Anartaxius,
dear seventhray1, so it's not maskedzebra , [:D]
who is inspiring night-terrors in old women but also carding their wool
while they sleep, leading travelers astray, taking the shape of animals,
blowing out the candles to kiss the girls in the darkness, twitching off
their bedclothes, or making them fall out of bed on the cold floor,
tattling secrets, and changing babes in cradles with elf-lings,all this
work done by moonlight, and with a mocking, echoing laugh  "Ho ho ho!"--

  so it's not maskedzebra it's  "shrewd and knavish" "drudging
fiend"mischievous prank, Robin Goodfellow-Hobgoblin-hrodberxtas- Puck,
the jester of Fairy-court, master of harmless rustic mischief, almost
benevolent in his pursuit of  fun -he who

  "drudging Goblin swet / To earn his cream-bowle duly set" (at the
beach?)
that shrewd and knavish sprite
Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he
That frights the maidens of the villagery;
Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern
And bootless make the breathless housewife churn;
And sometime make the drink to bear no barm;
Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm?
Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are not you

he?
he?

At least we know now how he looks like
and how he performs

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream.
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

--A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V

This is all so Shakespere.  Like the closing of Act III.
Now we just need someone to come on stage with a closing soliloquy. 
Something along the lines, of "And now dear souls"

For here at least the lord then knows no more, but what is still known is more 
than enough to fill the world.

Good exit line. Classy.

Compare and contrast to Judy's. Having succeeded in
dragging Curtis' name into a forum on which he no
longer participates, having intentionally mischar-
acterized him in hopes of luring him into coming 
back long enough to defend himself, Judy uses the 
opportunity of what she believes is a "captive
audience" to unload on him, trying to fit all
the hatred she's built up over many years into
one last hate-filled, hysterical, stomp-away-and-
slam-the-door-behind-her Drama Queen tirade:

Some people have class, and some don't. Simple
