Good news by Tom Sharp

Sudden good news—I cry for joy. I hear that the good guys have won the war. I want to gather my wife and sons; no need for them to worry any more. Time to sing, time to get drunk, time to celebrate with friends and family. I imagine I’m on my long trip home, and it’s as brief as happiness.

闻官军收河南河北 by 杜甫 (Du Fu)

剑外忽传收蓟北，初闻涕泪满衣裳。 却看妻子愁何在，漫卷诗书喜欲狂。 白日放歌须纵酒，青春作伴好还乡。 即从巴峡穿巫峡，便下襄阳向洛阳。
