The knitted brow of worry is briefly eased
The poem
攢眉思慮暫時開咫尺雲開見日來宛似汙泥中片玉良工一舉出塵埃
In English
The knitted brow of worry is briefly eased.Clouds part within arm's reach, and the sun appears.Like a piece of jade in the mud,a skilled craftsman lifts it from the dust in one move.
What it says
A furrowed brow relaxes and the clouds part to show the sun close by. The poem compares overlooked talent to jade in mud, which a skilled craftsman can lift out and reveal. It offers the comfort of being understood and seen.
A thought to take with you
Keep your worth intact, and draw near to those who can recognize it.
