tat's why i love fics.  it's like going to the flea market - one finds the most unexpected gems in the least likely places :)

admittedly i took chinese lit back in sec sch, but tat was more than a decade ago and i wasn't paying attention most of the time, so it's rather ironic tat now i appreciate even more the beauty and lyricism in wat i guess i call my mother tongue (which is another irony since my mother was eng-educated and can't really speak mandarin :p). 

ok, main point.  序慕容 is prob the pen name of some female poet who's apparently still alive - apart from some of the cool poems i saw on the collection, she also wrote a poem called 《七里香》, and hers was the one tat came first.  i like the style of her writing - it's simple and clear, subtle in a way, yet her passion permeates the phrases.

this particular one got to me from the 1st read-thru, prob cuz i've had an inexplicable romantic fascination from the time i learnt ‘春风不度玉门关‘.  and also, the more i read it, the more i can see jin within the lines.

《出塞曲》


and the one from the fic which got me interested in her poems:

《信仰》
