无题二首（之一）
李商隐
来是空言去绝踪， 月斜楼上五更钟。
梦为远别啼难唤， 书被催成墨未浓。
蜡照半笼金翡翠， 麝熏微度绣芙蓉。
刘郎已恨蓬山远， 更隔蓬山一万重。
to one unnamed i
li shangyin
you said you would come, but you did not, and you left me with no other trace
than the moonlight on your tower at the fifth-watch bell.
i cry for you forever gone, i cannot waken yet,
i try to read your hurried note, i find the ink too pale.
...blue burns your candle in its kingfisher-feather lantern
and a sweet breath steals from your hibiscus-broidered curtain.
but far beyond my reach is the enchanted mountain,
and you are on the other side, ten thousand peaks away.
