1. we bid each other a sad farewell, we two officials going opposite ways.
and yet, while China holds our friendship, and heaven remains our neighbourhood. (farewell to vice-prefect du setting out for his official post in shu by Wang Bo)
2. o Prince of Friends, you are gone again, I hear them sighing after you. (seeing friends off by Li Bai)
3. grasses return again green in the spring, but O my Prince of Friends, do you?? (Bai Juyi's "Farewell to the Ancient Grass")
