{"product_id":"2940149383764","title":"The Cycle Of Spring","description":"Excerpt-Sruti-bhushan, what is my Vizier whispering to you?\u003cbr\u003eHe tells me, King, to instruct you in the ways of fortune.\u003cbr\u003eWhat instruction can you give?\u003cbr\u003eThere is a verse in my book of devotions which runs as follows:\u003cbr\u003eFortune, as fickle as lotus-flower,Closes her favours when comes the hour.Oh, foolish man, how can you trust her,Who comes of a sudden, and goes in a fluster?\u003cbr\u003eAh, Pundit. One breath of your teaching blows out the false flame of ambition. Our teacher has said:\u003cbr\u003e\"Teeth fall out, hair grows grey;Yet man clings to hope that plays him false.\"\u003cbr\u003eWell, King, now that you have introduced the subject of hope, let me give you another verse from the Ocean of Renunciation. It runs as follows:\u003cbr\u003eThat fetters are binding, all are aware;But fetters of hope are strange, I declare.Hope's captive is tossed in the whirlpool's wake,And only grows still when the fetters break.\u003cbr\u003eAh, Pundit. Your words are priceless. Vizier, give him a hundred gold sequins at once. What's that noise outside?","brand":"Kartindo Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108985946352,"sku":"2940149383764","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149383764_p0.jpg?v=1763716910","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149383764","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
