How can a short poem take five long years to be completed? This poem can be an example: I wrote its first lines some time after Huong Thao's wedding, while the last modifications were made only yesterday. The poem still hasn't been as good as I expected it to be, and I completed it simply because it needs to be completed. Hope that I can get rid of those old good memories now…
O Time! How could I forget all
The happy years of yore?
Thou blewest the pretty girls away,
I will not meet them more.
The red lips and the rosy cheeks,
So dearly once to me,
Are faded all now, like a waft
Of final fantasy.
I spent my lifetime's finest years
In loving you, my dears!
But now when all the love has gone
Nothing remains -- but tears...

À, hình đó là vẽ theo truyện Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari). Huynh sử dụng google thì chuyển sang chế độ tìm kiếm hình ảnh (http://images.google.com) rồi search với từ khóa Genji Murasaki hay thứ gì đó đại loại như thế (các nhân vật trong truyện).
Đệ cũng rất thích lối vẽ kiểu này.
