152. So much love

Guan Daosheng (1262 – 1319) was a Chinese painter and poet of the early Yuan Dynasty.


She is credited as a prominent figure in the history of bamboo painting. 


She was also a poet. I came across one of her poems, Married Love.


It is said that after her death, her husband found this poem and decided not to marry again. 


Read it here - 


You and I

Have so much love, 

That it 

Burns like a fire, 

In which we bake a lump of clay

Molded into a figure of you

And a figure of me.
