Yilin Verse

商隊渡河貨沉流,驢背行李散不收。天黑掌燈燈亦滅,摸索前行各自憂。

The merchant caravan crosses the river — goods sink in the current. Baggage slips from the donkey's back, uncollectable. Night falls, the lamp is lit — but it too goes out. Groping forward in darkness, each person worries alone.

— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
