A poem on what makes a person beautiful

Cozy Grammar with Marie and Thomas

Each month I like to share a poem that has something to say about the art of living.

This verse comes from my new translation of the classical Tamil masterpiece on ethics, power, and love, THE KURAL: Tiruvalluvar's Tirukkural, published in January by the venerable Beacon Press in Boston.

It's a beautiful poem on what makes a person beautiful.

Take a listen!

Here's a still from Lesson 6 with Marie defining the object of a preposition:

The noun or pronoun in a prepositional phrase is called object of the preposition.
