No Title (Phoenix Brocade and Fragrant Silk, So Thin)
Untitled
Li Shangyin
How many layers of phoenix-tail fragrant silk, so thin,
The green-patterned round canopy is sewn deep in the night.
A fan cut from the moon's soul—shame is hard to hide,
A carriage passes with thunderous sound—words never exchanged.
Once there was loneliness, the golden embers growing dim,
Now no news at all, the pomegranate flowers red.
The piebald horse is tied only by the bank of drooping willows,
Where in the southwest shall I wait for a favorable wind?

李商隱
鳳尾香羅薄幾重，
碧文圓頂夜深縫。
扇裁月魄羞難掩，
車走雷聲語未通。
曾是寂寥金燼暗，
斷無消息石榴紅。
斑騅只繫垂楊岸，
何處西南待好風。
鳳尾香羅薄幾重，碧文圓頂夜深縫。
扇裁月魄羞難掩，車走雷聲語未通。
曾是寂寥金燼暗，斷無消息石榴紅。
斑騅只繫垂楊岸，何處西南待好風。
