Bai Juyi

“ I have come to them safely, ten thousand leagues.
Two sisters I had
Who had put up their hair, but not twined the sash; [1]
Yesterday both were married and taken away
By good husbands in whom I may well trust.
I am freed at last from the thoughts that made me grieve,
As though a sword had cut a rope from my neck.
And limbs grow light when the heart sheds its care:
Suddenly I seem to be flying up to the sky! ”
