Yilin Verse
鵠思其雄，欲隨鳳東。順理羽翼，出次須日。中留北邑，復反其室。
The swan-goose yearns for her mate and would follow the phoenix east. She grooms and preens her feathers; she goes out, then waits for the right day. Lingering at a northern town, she returns again to her home.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
