The Four Joys in Life
Wang Zhu (Years unknown, Song Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
When prevailing drought encounters timely rain.
When paths of old friends cross in distant lands.
When a romantic candle-lit wedding night is spent.
When your name makes the list of successful candidates.
── from Shen Tong Shi (Poetry by the Prodigy)
