Readings
Siyin and Zhishun choose two poems to express their unique views on love, as well as their expectation and understanding of life. Profound self-cultivation results in the overlap of the two world views and values, which are also highly resonant in music. It is the most beautiful accomplishment to express a sincere feeling in language.
When You Are Old
When you are old and grey and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire
Take down this book
And slowly read
And dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once
And of their shadows deep
How many loved your moments of glad grace
And loved your beauty with love false or true
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face
And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur
A little sadly
How love fled
I Want To Live With You
In a small town
Sharing endless dusk
And the chimes that never end
In a hotel in this town
The old clock struck it
Faint sound
As time drops gently
Sometimes, in the evening, from one of the rooms on the top floor
The flute
The piper with his window tinted
And big tulips in the window
If you don't love me now, I won't care
In the middle of the room, a tile stove
On each tile was painted a picture
A heart, a ship, a rose
And from our only window
Snow, snow, snow
You'll lie in my favorite position: lazy,
Indifferent, indifferent
Lit the match once or twice
Shrill voice
The flame of your cigarette has waned
The smoke ends shudder, shudder
Short, ashy cigarette - with ashes
You're too lazy to bounce
The cigarette fluttered into the fire
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars
