Additional quotes by Đặng Trần Côn

Here at this bridge we'll go our separate ways—
forlorn beside the road, I watch flags fly.

Your mother waits, heart-weary, at the door.
Your child in hunger cries for its chewed rice.
I feed your mother, serving as her son,
and like a father teach your child to read.

The sun has spurned his flower and let her wilt.
The flower's wilted, as the sun won't shine.
Wilted, she drops her petals by the wall—
I've often watched them drop on dew-cold nights.

I see you off and sorrow—Oh, to be your horse on land, your vessel on the stream! - Đặng Trần Côn
