One of two things, I am sure, will happen, he
will send a message, or else I expect
a message. Of a surety thou wilt not deprive me
of hope; something, O mother, will draw thy heart
to me. At least she will respect people’s judgment
about her; what has my behaviour got to do with
it? Or else she must borrow something for
me—if she does not, she will lose her good name.
By whomsoever I see, I feel no peace; my mind dwells on the comforts of home. From moment to moment I remember my mother’s house, I can never forget it. I resolve not to talk of it, but when the moment comes I remember it keenly. In the course of nature my senses move in that channel, it is there they find rest. I am ever eager to go to my mother’s house, this eagerness possesses my soul, says Tuka.
