"I'll write no love letter and no poem--I'll just send a white kerchief to tell you my thoughts. When you receive it, look at it this way and that: The warp is all threads, and the weft is all threads. Who will understand what is in my heart?" (Ming dynasty folk song; "threads" is a pun on "yearning").
不寫情詞不寫詩，一方素帕寄心知；心知接了顛倒看，橫也絲來豎也絲（思），這般心事有誰知？
