 * Date, size, copyvio, are fine.

Meghdutam is a classic, I have read it. In the book Meghadutam, the exiled poet sees clouds in the sky which are traveling to the place where his beloved lives and he asks the clouds to be his messenger. The poems have excellent narratives of nature and romance (specially when the poet gives the clouds directions eg. Learn first, O cloud, the road that, thou must go, Then hear my message ere thou speed away; Before thee mountains rise and rivers flow: When thou art weary, on the mountains stay, And when exhausted, drink the rivers' driven spray. Amir Hamzah has written a poem on this theme too? Very talented man. By reading the content section, I can not understand the content of the poems. No narrative. But, that's not DYK criteria. I noticed it since I wanted to learn its content/synopsis. No one will ask to clarify the content section. It is fine. I'll see if I can find English version of this book.
