In the story of beauty, talent, power, magic, and wits,
長恨到何時？
How long will the sorrow last?
空海猶增慧，
Monk Kukai (or the vast sea) still grows in wisdom.
樂天續作詩。
Poet Letian (or the content one) goes on writing poems.

* 長恨歌 https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/長恨歌 白樂天的"長恨歌": "此恨綿綿無絕期." 蘇東坡的"水調歌頭": "不應有恨."

* 雖然東大寺和這小說的故事沒有直接關聯, 東大寺收藏唐玄宗和楊貴妃所贈琵琶. Although Todai-ji is not directly related to the story of the novel, Todai-ji keeps a pipa (or lute) given by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei.
