     From: Tang dynasty, Du Fu (杜甫), 《絕句》 (A Quatrain), translated by Xu Yuanchong

     Liǎng ge huánglí míng cuìliǔ, yī háng báilù shàng qīngtiān. Chuāng hán xīlǐng qiānqiū xuě, mén bó dōngwú wànlǐ chuán. [Pinyin]

     Two golden orioles sing amid the willows green;
     A flock of white egrets flies into the blue sky.
     My window frames the snow-crowned western mountain scene;
     My door oft says to eastward-going ships “Goodbye!”.
