[4] this is a tang dynasty poem 夜雨寄北 by li shangyin essentially, the first line ‘sitting in the candlelight by the west window' means talking to your hearts' content with a partner. it can be used for friends but also husband and wife ^^ the line i used is the translation by kenneth rexroth read more about the breakdown of the poem here! https://www.tumblr.com/meichenxi/6612...   ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ as per usual, thanks for sticking around! bird app:   / miri__desu   ig: https://www.instagram.com/miri__desu/... #tearsofthemis #lukepearce
