"Dew is heavy on the grass below, the spider's web is ready. Heaven's ways include the human: among a thousand sorrows, I stand alone."

"I’m so thin, my shadow could slip through a crack in the door."

"The river is so wide, even the birds can’t cross it."

"The city has fallen: only the hills and rivers remain. In Spring the streets were green with grass and trees."

"My darling son now will not leave my knee, He's scared that I will go away again."
