"102. Seeing Off A Friend

A blue mountain cuts across the northern ramparts;
White water coils around the eastern castle.
In this land, we bid farewell for once—
—Lonely mugwort, on the road for ten thousand lis.
Floating clouds are the will of wanderers;
The setting Sun is what the old friends feel.
Waving our hands, we leave from here;
Desolate are the cries of the departing horses!"

—Li Bai tr Hyun Woo Kim via

Now I am quietly waiting.
