小樓春雨聲初歇
彳亍街頭屐不停
忽聽賣花人入巷
一枝買得慢慢行
In the small upper room the spring rain has just stopped.
I stroll slowly along the street, my clogs never pausing.
Suddenly a flower seller turns into the lane.
I buy one branch and walk on slowly.
What this lot says
A gentle scene after rain: a walk, a flower seller, a small purchase. The mood is relaxed and a little hopeful.
It reads as a good lot about small pleasures and unforced pace.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
The flower queen is won (獨占花魁)
A traditional allusion named with this lot. We have not traced the story to a source we could read, so we do not retell it here.
