TO ONE UNNAMED III <\/p>\n

Li Shangyin<\/p>\n

Time was long before I met her, but is lo<\/em>nger since we parted,
And the east wind has arisen and a hundred flowers are gone,
And the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die
And every night the candles will weep their wicks away.
Mornings in her mirror she sees her hair-cloud changing,
Yet she dares the chill of moo<\/em>nlight with her evening song.
It is not so very far to her Enchanted Mountain
O blue-birds, be listening!-Bring me what she says!<\/p>\n

Introduction to the Poet<\/p>\n

Li Shangyin (\u674e\u5546\u96b1 L\u01d0 Sh\u0101ngy\u01d0n, also known as \u674e\u7fa9\u5c71, Li Yishan) (between 810 and 813- 858), was a Chinese poet of the late Tang dynasty, born in Henei (now Qinyang, Henan Province). Along with Li He(\u674e\u8d3a), he was much admired and "rediscovered" in the 20th century by the young Chinese writers for the imagist quality of his poems. He is particularly famous for his tantalizing "no title" (\u7121\u984c) poems. <\/p>\n

Li had a moderately successful career in the imperial civil service, although he never obtained a high position, either because of factio<\/em>nal disputes, or because of his association with Liu Fen (\u5218\u8561), a prominent oppo<\/em>nent of the eunuchs.
Li was a typical Late Tang poet: his works are sensuous, dense and allusive. The latter quality makes adequate translation extremely difficult. The political, biographical or philosophical implications supposed to be co<\/em>ntained in some of his poems have been a subject of debate for many centuries in China. <\/p>\n

His most famous and cryptic poem is called "Jin Se" (\u9326\u745f) (the title is o<\/em>nly taken from the first two characters of the poem, thus also a "no title" poem), which co<\/em>nsists of 56 characters and a string of images. His "no title" poems are regarded as "pure poetry" by some modern critics. <\/p>\n

Although more famous for his sensuous poems, Li indeed wrote in many styles. He can be either satirical, humorous or sentimental. Moreover, some ancient critics hold that he is the o<\/em>nly poet who, in some of his poems, succeeds in imitating the masculine quality of Du Fu’s works.
