Written by Su Shi (1037-1101) during the Song Dynasty, these lines from "Begonia" capture a moment of nocturnal beauty in a tender vigil for fleeting beauty under moon and flame.

"The eastern breeze stirs a luminous glow, fragrant mist and moonlight gently flow. I fear the night may steal her bloom away, so I burn tall candles to keep her stay."
