Yilin Verse

六人俱行,各遺其囊。黃鵠失珠,无以為明。

The merchant caravan crosses the river — goods sink in the current. Baggage slips from the donkey's back, uncollectable. Night falls, the lamp is lit — but it too goes out. Groping forward in darkness, each person worries alone.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
