It was a very cloudy day for a jogging and the moisture in the air is heavy…
1 冷霧微霏細語音 Hovering cold fog and sounds of soft whisperings,
2 近見水落千丈吟 On closer inspection, ‘tis the roar of water falling ten thousand feet.
3 世交輕薄如浮雲 Long time relations - flimsy like floating clouds,
4 日月朝暮永升沉 Like the constant sun and moon, forever rising and setting.
2 丈 is about ten Chinese feet. 吟 is a loud chant, sigh, groan or moan.
4 朝暮 means morning and approaching night. The only constancy of human relations are that it will rise and fall like the sun and moon.
