Answer: Once the poetess met an unknown man. In the spirit of youth and passion, she began to love him. According to her, her love was as profound and tireless like a sea waiting for a river. Here her lover had been compared to a river and she compared herself as a sea. She wanted nothing from him except love, but when the lady wanted to know about the relation and real identity of that man, the man replied that he was not living for her; rather he loved himself more than the woman. That man introduced himself as 'I', not as the better half of the woman. That man was careless to the lady. He was desperate to possess the lady only physically. And being a male, he got advantages to drink lonely at midnight in any hotel of any unknown town. No one could rebuke him or trace him. Whatever happens, only happens to a woman in the eye of society. No infamy could touch a man. He always remained protected like a sword in its sheath.
