Yilin Verse
名成德就,項領不試。景公耄老,尼父逝去。
White-haired, he sharpens the sword — but the sword is already dull. Grand ambitions unfulfilled, temples frosted first. Ten thousand scrolls written, no one asks — sitting alone in a desolate study, facing the sunset.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
