无题二首（之二）
李商隐
重帷深下莫愁堂， 卧后清宵细细长。
神女生涯原是梦， 小姑居处本无郎。
风波不信菱枝弱， 月露谁教桂叶香。
直道相思了无益， 未妨惆怅是清狂。
to one unnamed ii
li shangyin
there are many curtains in your care-free house,
where rapture lasts the whole night long.
...what are the lives of angels but dreams
if they take no lovers into their rooms?
...storms are ravishing the nut-horns,
moon- dew sweetening cinnamon-leaves
i know well enough naught can come of this union,
yet how it serves to ease my heart!
