New Year bon mot - a Chinese poem



花间一壶酒。
独酌无相亲。
举杯邀明月。
对影成三人。


Among the flowers is a jug of wine.
With no friend at hand, I pour a cup alone.
I raise a toast to the brilliant moon.
My shadow makes a fellowship of three.


Li Bai (701-762)

Yes, him.... again.

(Today marks the beginning of the Year of the Ox in the Chinese calendar, you know.)
