   The Measurement                                       The measurement of one’s life Is not failure It is not how his name is advertised To monopolize the night   If one struggles and gets nowhere Think of the sky that remains hollow and empty Perhaps because it still hasn't begun charging a fee To the passing planes   One fails, as one should The way a cigarette does Enjoying itself to the buttmost And doing the right thing by binned   Ouyang Yu   Ouyang Yu. ‘Measurement’.
