English term or phrase: love sulk
"The rains falling from the garland of joyful clouds gradually reduced like the LOVE SULK of a delighted lady that wanes with time."
It's from the Ananda-Vrindavan-campu, a 500-year-old Indian scripture. The context is a very poetic description of the autumn season in Northern India.
