A FEELING OF SADNESS (BY LI BAI/TANG DYNASTY)

(Translated in prose by Capella Cao)

A beautiful women rolls up the bead curtain,

She sits alone for a long time with her brows furrowed.

One can only see her cheeks wet with tears,

But not knowing for whom she griefs.

李白

美人卷珠帘，

深坐颦蛾眉。

但见泪痕湿，

不知心恨谁。
