Of spring's three Graces，
Two have gone with the roadside dust
And one with waves. But if you just
Take a close look， then you will never
Find willow down but tears of those who part，
Which drop by drop
Fall without stop.
—Water Dragon Chant， Poet， Su Shi; Translator， Xu Yuanchong
春色三分，二分尘土，一分流水。
细看来，不是杨花，点点是离人泪。
——《水龙吟·次韵章质夫杨花词》苏轼，诗人；许渊冲，翻译
