Who inspired you?

Who inspired you?

If you ask Bai Juyi the great poet,  who inspired you?

He would tell you in his great poem:  "The Everlasting Sorrow".

He would say, his inspiration is from the love of the King and Yang Guifei.

What is inspiration?

Could the inspiration leave the king and enter the heart of Bai Juyi?

Sure it can be.

Inspiration is the spirit yet it is not the spirit.  It is the perfume of the spirit.

The spirit cannot leave you. It is always yours and it is yours forever. But the perfume can leave you and inspire others.

You never can realize that  your perfume can fly.

Your perfume will fly to a far away place and it needs not your permission. 

It is wonderful.

Sooner or later we all share the same perfume,  and we got all inspired.

We are inspired by the deep love from the King and Yang Guifei thousands of years.

There is no an end in it, thus said Bai Juyi.

天長地久，有時盡。

此恨綿綿無絕期。

 There is a limit for the sky and heaven and the planet,

 yet the feeling can last forever.

(a little note from Leechard:  the term 恨 can be a feeling of some inner uneasines, not necessary a hatred.)
