Frost is like frosty hair! Till years snow white hairs on thee or however that Donne line goes. There’s one poem line that gets used ALL the time for angst especially in its original history poet rpf fandom on lofter about Bai juyi and his friend Yuan weizhi https://baike.baidu.com/item/梦微之/12527296 君埋泉下泥销骨4，我寄人间雪满头5 You buried under the fountains (of the netherworld) bones melded into mud, I lingering in the mortal world snow heaped on my head. the immortal analogue to “we deserve a softer epilogue” of the “it’s semi happy as long as they’re both dead” cn fandom tendencies ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و I think the wine is muddy bc it’s rice wine and so when it’s not fully settled, it’s still got lots of sediment? tfw no sediment laden wine...?
also I’m not sure but it seens there’s just one river (the three gorges) with lots of apes calling on its banks or something, famous in local lore. There’s the one li bai poem where he also comments on them somewhere
