一夜雪落心已寒墨初
[yī yè xuĕ luò xīn yĭ hán mò chū]
'Yi Ye Xue Luo Xin Yi Han Mo Chu' (一夜雪落心已寒墨初) evokes an image of falling snow overnight and heart feeling chilly in first strokes of ink - the initial touch that marks the cold-hearted solitude of the poet. Here the imagery of snow and ink creates a classical Chinese art scene of loneliness, expressing deep sorrow, quiet melancholy, isolation amidst nature's purity after a heavy emotional event.
