Immeasurable pain!
My dreaming soul last night was king again.
As in past days
I wandered through the Palace of Delight,
And in my dream
Down grassy garden-ways
Glided my chariot, smoother than a summer stream;
There was moonlight,
The trees were blossoming,
And a faint wind softened the air of night,
For it was spring. (Li Yu (Southern Tang))

Immeasurable pain! My dreaming soul last night was king again. As in past days I wandered through the Palace of Delight, And in my dream Down grassy garden-ways Glided my chariot, smoother than a summer stream; There was moonlight, The trees were blossoming, And a faint wind softened the air of night, For it was spring.
