415. Seasons beyond our wishes

குயிலின் குரலை மறுப்பார் குயிலின்பருவம் மறுப்ப தரிது

kuyilin kuralai maruppaar kuyilinparuvam maruppa tharidhu

Some shut out the cuckoo’s call; its season is not so easily shut out.
In Tamil poetry the cuckoo’s call announces spring. A recurring season does not wait to be welcomed.
