I see how charming the green hills are, and I don’t expect the green hills to be so charming when they see me. (Xin Qiji's "Congratulations to the Bridegroom")
Those who abandon me will not be able to keep yesterday's day;
Those who mess up my heart will have many worries today. (Li Bai's "Farewell to Secretary Shu Yun at Xietiao Tower in Xuanzhou")
Come back! Will the countryside be full of wild beards? Since you regard your heart as a servant, you are ridiculed and sad! If you understand the past, you should not remonstrate, but if you know what is coming, you can pursue it. In fact, the lost path is not far away. I feel that what is now is but yesterday was not. ...Come back and come back, please pay me a rest and never travel again. The world is against my will, how can I ask for my words again? ...that’s it! How long will it take to stay in Xingyu, and I will not leave or stay at my will? Why not, what else do you want to do? Wealth and honor are not my wish, and an imperial homeland cannot be expected.
