Quatrain on a Spring Garden Emperor Lizong Chinese This verse, written during Lizong's maturity in a charming cursive script for the "noble consort" who inspired it, makes clear that life was not without its pleasures for the aging emperor:Last year I saw a branch scented with a red fragrance;Faintly, I imagined red corollas with little makeup.Today, in the palace garden, such colors abound.Perhaps, without knowing it, I prayed to the god of spring.(Wen C. Fong, trans., in Beyond Representation: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, 8th-14th Century New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,1992, p. 242). Quatrain on a Spring Garden 40187
