A VIDA COMO ELA É:

Os pássaros fogem para o sul quando os manchu chegam ao norte. Uma dinastia acaba ( Ming), os resistentes fazem as contas:

" So many stalwart friends, men of high constancy;
And I, because I wavered at the crucial moment,
I hide in the reeds on borrowed time.
Nothing brings relief
As old disasters come again thousandfold.
Too hard to sacrifice wife and children, cast them off like
an old shoe.
And still I can boast not a penny to my name.
Why are some lives so flawed
When others find wholeness?"

( Wu Wei-yeh ( 1609-92) , Man chiang hung, tradução de Cyril Birch )
