- Songs of Chu: Embracing the SandClassical PoetryQu Yuan
Sweltering is early summer as plants and trees grow dense and lush. Mournful heart in eternal grief, drifting onward to southern lands. Gazing into dim vastness, deeply quiet and silent. Knowing that death cannot be avoided, I hold no clinging love for life. Proclaiming openly to noble gentlemen: I take ancient martyrs as my eternal companions!

King Huai of Chu, and his loyal minister who leapt into the Miluo. In grief I laugh at you, stubborn Lord of the Three Clans: why not set yourself free? It was not the Canglang that sullied you; you sullied the Canglang.
