Love
Bitter Jealousy in the Palace of the High Gate (II)
Translated by Florence Ayscough and Amy Lowell (1921) · From Fir-Flower Tablets (1921)
Love
Unending grief in the Cassia Hall. Spring is forgotten.
Autumn dust rises up on the four sides of the Yellow Gold House.
At night, the bright mirror hangs against a dark sky;
It shines upon the solitary one in the Palace of the High Gate.
