Yi dai ren (A generation) by Gu Cheng

[snowynight]

黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛 我却用它寻找光明

The dark night gives me dark eyes, And I use it to look for light

Thanks for posting and translating all these wonderful poems! I wish I had more time to really appreciate each one of them (but my Chinese is a bit lacking so I can't read fast).

This one's especially beautiful... putting much punch into just two lines.
