Folk Laments Quotes

“A gaily dressed damsel steps forth from her bower,
Bewailing the fate that forbids her to roam;
In the courtyard she counts up the buds on each flower,
While a dragon-fly flutters and sits on her comb.”
― Liu Yuxi, Liu Yuxi (Chinese Classical Poetry Appreciation Book Series)(Chinese Edition)【China Intercontinental Press - 五洲传播出版社】
