The 700 poems of Hindi poet Biharilal’s Satsai weave amorous narratives of the god Krishna and the goddess Radha with hero and heroine motifs, bridging divine and worldly love. This new translation presents 400 couplets from the seventeenth-century classic. He Spoke of Love brims with rivalries, secret trysts, and the sorrows of separated lovers.
