李 白 |
| A Pair of Swallows | |
|
A family eating is startled to see two swallows with mud in their beaks fly into their hotel room. “Fellow sojourners, fleeing the cold and wind, take shelter with us here in our make-shift home. |
“Like you, we crossed great distances to come; like us, you’ll raise your young amidst dust and ruin. “You’ll leave in the fall if the world endures so long; perhaps we too will live to move on soon.” |
