The Calligraphers on Hang Bo Street, near Tet in 1907, there seem to be few customers hiring them to write couplets.
But each year they grew fewer
Where are the patrons now?
The red paper grieves, unbrightened
Ink lingers in the mournful inkstone...
The calligrapher still sits there
Passersby take no notice
Yellow leaves fall on the paper
Outside, drizzle drifts....

Vũ Đình Liên, “The Calligrapher”
