离落成泥香如故花落成茧更伤秋
[lí luò chéng ní xiāng rú gù huā luò chéng jiăn gèng shāng qiū]
'When the flowers fall and turn into mud, their fragrance still remains. When the flowers fall and form cocoons, it hurts even more in autumn.' Taken from classical Chinese poetry, this evocative expression laments lost love with melancholy beauty and profound nostalgia.
