Yilin Verse
汎汎柏舟，流行不休。耿耿寤寐，心懷大憂。仁不逢時，復隱窮居。
Drifting, drifting, the cypress boat; floating on and on without rest. Sleepless through the watches; the heart bears a great sorrow. Benevolence does not meet its time; one retreats again to dwell in poverty.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
