I Take A Bottle Of Wine And I Go To Drink It Among The Flowers.

HomeFortune CookiesQuotations By Famous People

I take a bottle of wine and I go to drink it among the flowers.
We are always three - counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering
moon.
Happily the moon knows nothing of my drinking, and my shadow is never
thirsty.
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence.
When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart;
This sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me.
-- Li Po, The little fête
