Question

Goodfellowship by Li Po
A Fragment by Li Po (adapted excerpt)

Hast thou not beheld the Yellow River
Which flows from Heaven?
It runs rapidly down and empties into the sea,
Nevermore to return.

Hast thou beheld the mirror in the hall
That reflects the grief of white hair?
In the morning it is like black silk,
In the evening it will be covered with snow.

While we are in the mood of joy,
Let us celebrate!
Let not our lives be lonely,
Let us waste not the moon!
