The corrupting view.^w

I spoke ill of her

As she was in others’ company.

I spoke nil of her

When she came to my friend’s company.

I spoke well of her

As I won her in my company.

Now I speak only of her

For now she is no more with others.

Jealousy to envy, envy to pride,

and pride to tranquility –

 metamorphosis of feelings.
