Poem Of The Day

Today we share "Entering Yellow Stream and Hearing an Ape" by Liu Zongyuan, who, was, sadly, "another victim of political intrigues." Sometimes I think I am like the ape, who will probably never get the servant to fetch him his primal-slippers...

The road and stream bend for a thousand li,
Sorrowfully, an ape somewhere calls.
The lonely servant’s tears are now exhausted,
The heartbreaking sound is in vain.
