In dream my cry could not call you back from distant place; In haste with ink unthickened I cannot write well. The candlelight illuminates half our broidered bed; The smell of musk still faintly sweetens lotus screen. Beyond my reach the far-off fairy mountains spread; But you’re still farther off than fairy mountains green. The poet writes for one unnamed lover who passed sweet nights together with him.

无题 李商隐 相见时难别亦难， 东风无力百花残。 春蚕到死丝 [1] 方尽， 蜡炬成灰泪 [2] 始干。 晓镜但愁云鬓改， 夜吟应觉月光寒。 蓬山 [3] 此去无多路， 青鸟 [4] 殷勤为探看。 注释： [1] 丝：与“思”谐音。 [2] 泪：烛泪，即蜡油。喻人的眼泪。 [3] 蓬山：蓬莱山。传说中的三仙山之一。 [4] 青鸟：《汉武故事》载，西王母下见汉武帝，有青鸟先到殿前报信，此句指托青鸟代主人探望对方。 To One Unnamed Li Shangyin It’s difficult for us to meet and hard to part; The east wind is too weak to revive flowers dead. Spring silkworm till its death spins silk from love-sick heart; A candle but when burned out has no tears to shed. At dawn I’m grieved to think your mirrored hair turns grey; At night you would feel cold while I croon by moonlight. To the three fairy hills it is not a long way. Would the blue birds oft fly to see you on the height? The poet writes this poem for his unnamed lover compared to a fairy living in the three mountains on the sea where only the mythical blue birds could bring messages. 《无题》是唐代诗人李商隐以男女离别为题材创作的爱情诗。此诗首联是极度相思而发出的深沉感叹，先言相见难得，离别更难，再以东风无力、百花凋残渲染愁苦凄恻的氛围；颔联以象征的手法写出自己的痴情苦意以及九死而不悔的爱情追求，言相爱之深切凝重，生死相以；颈联设想象所怀念对象的生活情景，暗含离人相思，心心相印之意，并示关切、珍重之意；尾联说相距...
