To the Moon Goddess
Li Shangyin
Upon the marble screen the candlelight is winking;
The Silver River slants and morning stars are sinking.
You’d regret to have stolen the miraculous potion;
Each night you brood over the lonely celestial ocean.
According to the myth, the archer who had shot down nine suns hod miraculous potion, but his wife stole it, flew to the moon and became the lonely moon goddess.
《嫦娥》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的一首诗。此诗咏叹嫦娥在月中的孤寂情景，抒发诗人自伤之情。前两句分别描写室内、室外的环境，渲染空寂清冷的气氛，表现主人公怀思的情绪；后两句是主人公在一宵痛苦的思忆之后产生的感想，表达了一种孤寂感。全诗情调感伤，意蕴丰富，奇思妙想，真实动人。
