Yilin Verse
蟠梅折枝,與母別離,絕不相知。
The broken lotus root — no silk threads connecting. The fallen leaf parts from the branch, never to return. A mother calls her child's name, but the wind does not carry it. The child gazes toward the old garden — ten thousand mountains between.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
