Yilin Verse

東山西山,各自止安。雖相登望,竟未同堂。

Singing to each other across the river — voices can be heard. But the wind is strong, the waves fierce — crossing cannot be made. Day after day gazing through the waterline to the sky — white-haired, still hoping for the old friend's silhouette.

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