Classic poem of the day

Tim says that the maid who first kindled a flame
Of desire in his heart was called Patience by name,
But at length Tim discovered this beautiful creature,
Who was patience by name was impatience by nature.

Member poem of the day

Alone, I sit serene within a bamboo grove,
At ease, I strum the lute and hum a song.
Unknown into the forest deep I’ll rove
Until the shining moon has sung along.

獨坐幽篁裡,
彈琴復長嘯。
深林人不知,
明月來相照。
