A Mortal Life, Born of One Thought · Stubborn and Foolish by Nature · 04 / 102
Nan Lou Ling · Wait for the Next Life to Bind It Again
Chasing regret, I look and let nothing slip; I wear out my thoughts on the Biluo Stele. Another new season — off early, east and west. In the end, like lime returning to the four seas, ice and fire refine what is pure and white.
To cheat the world, one fears having too much talent; with too much talent, one fears the world's cheating. Turned solitary — crows crying over the Yi River. Six years searching the vast dream of Nanke, and still I cannot see through the stolen new clothes.
Glossary—
The Biluo Stele: in Longxing Temple within the town of Xinjiang County, Shanxi. It writes oracle-bone script, bronze-vessel script and stone-drum script with the brushwork of small seal script; later generations find it hard to read, and it is a treasure in the history of Chinese calligraphy;
The Yi River: the name of a river. When Jing Ke went into Qin to assassinate the King of Qin, Crown Prince Dan of Yan held his farewell feast here.
