Resentment Near The Jade Stairs Poem by Li Po

Resentment Near The Jade Stairs

Rating: 2.9


Dew whitens the jade stairs.
This late, it soaks her gauze stockings.

She lowers her crystal blind to watch
the breaking, glass-clear moon of autumn.

Jade could be referring here to many things including the, Maybe resentment is for the very powerful yet ending the pounding. The lady in the moon pounds ingredients to create an elixir of immortality. The Autumn moon is also a time when the Lady in the moon gets to meet her lover / husband.
