Chapter 36

CHAI CH’IEN SENDS A LETTER ASKING FOR A YOUNG GIRL; HSI-MEN CH’ING PATRONIZES PRINCIPAL GRADUATE TS’AI

From Fu-ch’uan gazing into the distance

west of Chien-chiang;1

I see only a solitary cloud formation

blocking the sunset.

The tears that I am wont to shed, are

lost amid the misty trees;

There is no way to transmit a letter,

geese and fish are scarce.

My wish to enquire after you is impeded

by three thousand li;

Separated as we are, I only long in vain

all twenty-four hours.

Broad as the sea and high as Heaven2

are my thoughts of you;

On whom can I rely to let you know

the date of my return?
