- From: 1059, Ouyang Xiu (歐陽修), The Sound of Autumn(《秋聲賦》), translated by A. C. Graham
- Érkuàng sī qí lì zhī suǒ bùjí, yōu qí zhì zhī suǒ bùnéng; yí qí wòrán dān zhě wéi gǎomù, yīrán hēi zhě wéi xīngxīng. [Pinyin]
- [A]nd how much more when he thinks of that which is beyond the reach of his endeavour, worries over that which his wisdom is powerless to alter! It is natural that his glossy crimson changes to withered wood, that his ebony black is soon flecked with stars!

My hair bespeckled well.
Men meet and part with joy and sorrow.
Let raindrops drip until the morrow!
