Quotes
-
Raja Maansingh : the surgeon is waiting for permission - Prince! Won't your wounds be washed?
Prince Saleem : [flourishing his sword] They are not wounds, they are flowers, and the withering of flowers is shameful for spring. Look at my sword - it's not only a killer, it is a sweetheart; as well as a sword it is the branch of a flower.
Raja Maansingh : The humour that has bathed in blood for 14 years is filled with poetry - how strange!
Prince Saleem : Nothing strange about it - if the poetry of Khayyam is written on stone, will it change its meaning?
