Failed assignation Tom Sharp

Man. I waited for you on the terrace by East Gate, where wild herbs are growing on the slope. Your home was near, but you were far away. Woman. I went to meet you on the terrace by East Gate. Footprints trampled wild herbs on the slope. I knew those were your footprints, but you weren’t there.

东门之墠 诗经

东门之墠，茹藘在阪。 其室则迩，其人甚远。 东门之栗，有践家室。 岂不尔思，子不我即。
