MPhillips Posted August 18, 2014 at 10:56 AM Report Posted August 18, 2014 at 10:56 AM It's the first line of a poem by Ouyang Xiu entitled "To the Tune of Lang Tao Sha", which Ronald C. Egan translates as: "I raise my cup to implore the east wind/Tarry with us a while longer" and was borrowed almost entirely from another poem by the Tang poet Sikong Tu (the first line that is). It speaks of Ouyang's sadness over having to part too soon from his friend Mei Yaochen. Probably sent by a friend who will miss you! 1 Quote
