玉匣清光不復持
菱花散乱月輪欠
Translation:
The pure light in the jade box can never be returned / The moon wheel is broken with scattered water chestnuts
Interpretation:
This couplet comes from the poem "Broken Mirror" (破鏡) by Li Shangyin (李商隱), a famous Tang Dynasty poet. The poem describes the sound of a broken mirror and the various emotions it evokes.
The first line, "The pure light in the jade box can never be returned," refers to the broken mirror. The second line, "The moon wheel is broken with scattered water chestnuts," compares the sound of the broken mirror to the sound of water chestnuts breaking. This comparison emphasizes the harshness and finality of the mirror's destruction.
The couplet as a whole expresses a sense of loss and regret. The broken mirror represents the loss of something precious and irreplaceable. The sound of the broken mirror echoes the speaker's own broken heart.
Background:
Li Shangyin (813-858) was a prominent poet of the Tang Dynasty. He is known for his elegant and evocative poetry, which often explores themes of love, loss, and longing.
The poem "Broken Mirror" is one of Li Shangyin's most famous works. It is a short poem, but it packs a powerful emotional punch. The poem's imagery is striking and its message is clear: once something is broken, it can never be truly restored.
