[quote=MARRIE,270485]When you wake up is the time pains creep up to you. Another spontaneous poem by Li Bai Drinking Alone under the Moon (月下獨酌) 花間一壺酒。 Amongst the flowers is a pot of wine; 獨酌無相親。 I pour alone but with no friend at hand; 舉杯邀明月。 So I lift the cup to invite the shining moon; 對影成三人。 Along with my shadow, a fellowship of three. 月既不解飲。 The moon understands not the art of drinking; 影徒隨我身。 The shadow gingerly follows my movements; 暫伴月將影。 Still I make the moon and the shadow my company; 行樂須及春。 To enjoy the springtime before too late. 我歌月徘徊。 The moon lingers while I am singing; 我舞影零亂。 The shadow scatters while I am dancing; 醒時同交歡。 We share the cheers of delight when sober; 醉後各分散。 We separate our ways after getting drunk; 永結無情遊。 Forever will we keep this unfettered friendship; 相期邈雲漢。 Til we meet again far in the Milky Way.
