Seeing a guest come, she feels shy; Her stockings coming down, away she tries to fly. Her hairpin drops; She never stops But to look back. She leans against the door, Pretending to sniff at mume blossoms once more. — 《点绛唇》 ("Rouged Lips"), as translated by Xu Yuan Zhong in Song of the Immortals (New World Press, 1994), p. 227
