The lady was not to be won, however. She toyed with him – allowing him to get close to her at times, then dashing his hopes with a haughty dismissal
For 4 years he tried to win her affection – to no avail

Lord Jagannath visits Kendrapara
A large turtle which wandered into the coastal town of Kendrapara in India has been revered by locals as a reincarnation of the Hindu God, Lord Jagannath (Lord of the Universe).
Crowds have been gathering, bringing with them offerings of fruit, rice, and garlands.
Attempts by Government Officials (it is illegal to restrain a turtle) to ‘release’ the turtle have been thwarted by locals who believe Lord Jagannath has visited them in the form of a turtle.
‘We will not allow anybody to take the turtle away,’ said Ramesh Mishra, a local priest
Hhmm, is it possible for mere mortals to restrain a God ?
Mind you, I can see their point. There is a remarkable likeness.
