Daily Poem & Picture

Each day, I post a classical poem to document a moment, and I match it up with the picture that represents my feeling of the poem. Some pictures are original, some are not, and thus with the sources specified. If the poem is in foreign language, mostly is, I'll provide my personal translation.
