Quotes

  • 花間一壺酒,獨酌無相親。舉杯邀明月,對影成三人。月既不解飲,影徒隨我身。暫伴月將影,行樂須及春。我歌月徘徊,我舞影零亂。醒時同交歡,醉後各分散。永結無情遊,相期邈雲漢。
  • 云想衣裳花想容,春风拂槛露华浓。若非群玉山头见,会向瑶台月下逢。
  • 問余何意棲碧山,笑而不答心自閒。桃花流水窅然去,別有天地非人間。
  • From the walls of Baidi high in the colored dawnTo Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles,Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind meTo my boat these ten thousand mountains away.
  • All the birds have flown up and gone;A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.We never tire of looking at each other—Only the mountain and I.
  • 镜湖三百里,菡萏发荷花。五月西施采,人看隘若耶。回舟不待月,归去越王家。
