Book cover for रश्मिरथी
“हाय, कर्ण, तू क्यों जन्मा था? जन्मा तो क्यों वीर हुआ? कवच और कुण्डल-भूषित भी तेरा अधम शरीर हुआ। धँस जाये वह देश अतल में, गुण की जहाँ नहीं पहचान, जाति-गोत्र के बल से ही आदर पाते हैं जहाँ सुजान।

“Aragorn looked at the pale stars, and at the moon, now sloping behind the western hills that enclosed the valley. 'This is a night as long as years', he said. 'How long will the day tarry?'
'Dawn is not far off', said Gamling, who had now climbed up beside him. 'But dawn will not help us, I fear'
'Yet dawn is ever the hope of men', said Aragorn.”
