56- character Miniature Relief Engraving on Buffalo Horn

Ink-Printed on Paper

1cm x 1cm  (slightly shy of  3/8’’ x 3/8’’)

                           Translation (to the best of my English skills):

                           Difficult to see you, Harder to leave you

                           The warm wind is gone and the flowers are done

                           Silkworms finish cocooning only to find themselves trapped

                           Candles stop weeping only because the wicks have burnt down

                          The yearning makes your hair lose its shine in the morning light

                          The longing makes my heart chill in the moonlit night

                          The road to see you is close yet far

                          May doves carry my whispers to where you are
