Kural 1259

புலப்பல் எனச்சென்றேன் புல்லினேன் நெஞ்சம்
கலத்தல் உறுவது கண்டு.

Pulappal Enachchendren Pullinen Nenjam
Kalaththal Uruvadhu Kantu

'I 'll shun his greeting'; saying thus with pride away I went:I held him in my arms, for straight I felt my heart relent

Meaning

I said I would feign dislike and so went (away); (but) I embraced him the moment I say my mind began to unite with him!

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
