Fire Destroying the Epang Palace by Kimura Buzan 1907

"The people of Qin had not a moment to lament their fate

Those who came after lamented it

When those who come after lament

But do not learn

Then they too will merely provide

Fresh cause for lamentation

From those who come after them."

-Tang poet Du Mu 825 CE
