石灰吟 – （明）于謙
千锤万凿出深山，烈火焚烧若等闲。
粉骨碎身浑不怕，要留清白在人间。
Psalm of Quicklime by Yu Qian (Ming Duynasty)
From far hill, myriad chisels bring me here,
Amidst fierce fire, I cackle, scorning fear.
When facing the crusher, I do not veer,
But with the white will to whiten the sphere.

From far hill, myriad chisels bring me here,
Amidst fierce fire, I cackle, scorning fear.
When facing the crusher, I do not veer,
But with a wish to whiten all with cheer.
