"Drinking Alone Under the Moon" - Li Bo
A pot of wine among the flowers
I drink alone, no kith or kin near
I raise my cup and invite the moon to join me
for it and my shadow make a party of three
But alas, the moon is unconcerned with my drinking
and my shadow merely follows me around,
Again I raise my cup in supplication
for pleasure must be sought while it is still spring.
I sing, and the moon moves back and forth,
I dance, and my shadow falls about at random
When sober, we seek pleasure in the company of others
when drunk, we each go our own way.
Therefore let us pledge a fellowship without human ties
and meet again, at the far end, of the Milky Way.
