"滴不尽相思血泪抛红豆，开不完春柳春花满画楼，睡不稳纱窗风雨黄昏后，忘不了新愁与旧愁。"

Still weeping tears of blood about our separation: Little red love-beans of my desolation. Still blooming flowers I see outside my window growing. Still awake in the dark I hear the wind a-blowing. Still oh still I can't forget those old hopes and fears. — Chapter 28
