Yilin Verse
機關不便，不能出言；精誠不通，為人所冤。
The key rusts in the lock — the door will not open. A thousand-word letter is written but cannot be sent. Shouting through the wall, the wind scatters every word — in the right, but nowhere to plead the injustice.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
