Olympics: Closing the light of the Games, a farewell to Beijing

There are few in the world with consummate skill like you
There are none among us with too little to do like me;
After we part, at the bamboo window on nights of wind and snow,
In the light and shadow of a solitary lantern I shall play over the Games of Wu.

-Du Mu, Tang Dynasty, 803-852

London's mod mime stuff was truly frightening. Not looking forward to their opening ceremony based on that.
