3. tune: wind through pines
tune: wind through pines is a masterpiece of song dynasty poet wu wenying (1200-1260). between the lines lies the author's grief over the rainy spring and parting with beloved ones. here is an excerpt:
hearing the wind and rain while mourning for the dead,
sadly i draft an elegy on flowers.
over dark green lane hang willow twigs like thread,
we parted before the bowers.
each twig revealing our tender feeling.
i drown my grief in wine in chilly spring;
drowsy, i wake again when orioles sing.
