Complaint by Tom Sharp

1. Neither sunlight nor moonlight shines in the inner recesses of the palace. Once held dear, a white orchid will never bloom again. 2. She avoids the mirror in the hall so she can dwell on the injustice, but she knows the emperor is fickle; otherwise, she’d never have been his queen.

长门怨 by 李白 (Li Bai)

一 天回北斗挂西楼，金屋无人萤火流。 月光欲到长门殿，别作深宫一段愁。 二 桂殿长愁不记春，黄金四屋起秋尘。 夜悬明镜青天上，独照长门宫里人。
