No true woman deems herself a widow; whether he be gone to distant lands, or gone to the Master's country yonder, she waits for him; her Man is sure to come back, her Man for ever hers, no death can untie the knot of her arms that wreathe him close to her tender bosom in love. It is the sacred knot that God has tied with His own Hands. Who can sunder two that He joins in one?

— Puran Singh The Sisters of the Spinning Wheel (1921)
