Excerpt from The Ramayana: Translated Into English Prose From the Original Sanskrit of Vālmīki; Bālakāndam

Spirit trembles as Sita in the Asoka wood the lotus-eyed Rama self-forgetful and heroic, and possessed of the highest perfections that can adorn humanity, and through the extremes of misery and misfortune ever abiding by righteousness and truth; Sita the best and fairest of her sex, the embodiment of all loveliness and grace physical and mental, she who rose from the sacrificial fire of inspiration - a goddess in all her manifold perfections and unsurpassed exellences, whose name carries in the very mention a world of pathos; the faithful Lakshmana, aye cleaving to his brother on the perilous edge of raging battle, and in the dreary forest leading a life lorn and desolate, - these and others whom we forbear reluctantly to name,have been pourtrayed to the life they are quick with the Prome thean spark and occupy, prominent positions in that ideal world brought into being by those mighty intellectual wizards - the poets; and are the perennial fountains of our joy and sorrow, never snfiering the good and the beautiful to degenerate into cant and commonplace in our minds. Oh i the privilege of genius.
