I suddenly remember the distance that I must travel;
I spring from bed and look out to see the time.
The stars and planets are all grown dim in the sky;
Long, long is the road; I cannot stay.
I am going on service, away to the battle-ground,
And I do not know when I shall come back.
I hold your hand with only a deep sigh;
Afterwards, tears — in the days when we are parted.
With all your might enjoy the spring flowers,
But do not forget the time of our love and pride.

To his wife, written when Su Wu was called to battle against the Hsiung-nu

Since my hair was plaited and we became man and wife
The love between us was never broken by doubt.
So let us be merry this night together,
Feasting and playing while the good time lasts.

To his wife

Su Wu

Quote of the day

Werner Heisenberg
