89. The marks anger leaves
கொதித்ததை மண்கலமும் கூறாது கூறும்கொதிப்பின் வடுப்பட்ட கோடு
kodhithadhai mankalamum kooraadhu koorumkodhippin vaduppatta kodu
Even a clay pot that never speaks of its boiling tells of it, in the line the boiling scarred.
Fierce boiling leaves a scorched line or a crack on a clay pot, and it stays there long after the fire is out.
