When I was small, Nostalgia was a tiny postage stamp, I, on this side, My mother, on the other.Later on, Nostalgia was a low tomb, I, outside. My mother, inside.And now, Nostalgia is the coastline, a shallow strait. I, on this side, The mainland, on the other. — "Nostalgia" (《乡愁》, "Xiangchou"), in The Isle Full of Noises: Modern Chinese Poetry from Taiwan, ed. and trans.
