Yilin Verse
驚弓之鳥不敢棲，杯弓蛇影疑四圍。草動風聲皆是敵，奔入深林不敢歸。
A bird once startled by a bow dares not perch. A snake's shadow in the wine cup — suspicion on all sides. Every rustling grass and wind-sound is an enemy — fleeing into the deep forest, not daring to return.
— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
