Just as the lotus wilts, the mums bloom forth— time softens grief, and winter turns to spring. — Lines 1795–1796; quoted by Bill Clinton, in "Remarks at a State Dinner Hosted by President Tran Duc Luong of Vietnam in Hanoi" (17 November 2000): "Just as the lotus wilts, the mums bloom forth; time softens grief; and the winter turns to spring."
