Peppers Tom Sharp

Women picking peppers in the field, so many and ripe, sing about how the people are like peppers, and their emperor is like the farmer, tall and strong. We raise our children, so many and ready, but then comes the wars and uprisings. Mothers shouldn’t have to see their children die.

椒聊 诗经

椒聊之实，蕃衍盈升。 彼其之子，硕大无朋。 椒聊且，远条且。 椒聊之实，蕃衍盈掬。 彼其之子，硕大且笃。 椒聊且，远条且。
