Yilin Verse
龍馬上山，絕無水泉。喉燋唇乾，口不能言。
Cracked earth for a thousand li — not an inch of green. Well-bottoms are dry mud with turtle-shell patterns. An ox collapses in the field, tongue stiff — the old farmer looks up to the sky and no sound comes.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
