• To be a stranger in a strange land: Whenever one feasts, one thinks of one's brother twice as much as before, There where my brother far away is ascending, The dogwood is flowering, and a man is missed.

    Wang Wei: To be a stranger in a strange land: 
Whenever one feasts, one thinks of one's brother twice as much as before, 
There where my brother far away is ascending, 
The dogwood is flowering, and a man is missed.
