“the bedcover is tossed crimson waves,” good image
“as the sun climbs to the curtain hook.” So a hook on the side of the window to secure the curtains when they’re pulled back?
“She dreads now this longing for a distant one and parting pain, How many things have happened!” This is interestingly ambiguous, at least in English, re: whether the longing encompasses parting pain as well as distant one, whether she dreads the longing as a painful sensation or because the situation’s changed (how many things have happened) since she and the distant one were parted.
The last line is evocative. Presumably she wants to address some comment to the distant one, but is alone.
“that should remember me” does this idea take the reflection in the water and imbue it with a sense of permanence?
“from today on will be added a layer of new sorrow.” Paralleling the accretive power of her emotional response to alter the landscape (even as these stories have made Wuling and Qin more, culturally, than they are in and of themselves)
