Yilin Verse
兩目不明,日奪無光。脛足跛曳,不可以行,頓於丘旁。亡妾莫逐,嵬然獨宿。
Both eyes lack sight; day robs the sun of its light. Shins and feet lame and dragging, unable to walk; halted beside the hill. The lost concubine is not pursued; desolate and alone, one sleeps in solitude.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
