I saw sunset in a ferry

Every time when we saw sunset we'll say,

「夕陽無限好，只是近黃昏。」

It means

"Sunset is always wonderful. 
Alas it's too close to nightfall."

------------------------------------------------

It is from the poem: "Up to the Ancient Burial Ground".

登樂遊原 

(李商隱) 

--------------

向晚意不適，
驅車登古原。
夕陽無限好，
只是近黃昏。

Up to the Ancient Burial Ground 

(Li Shang-Yin, 813-858 AD, China)

------------------------------------------------

In the late afternoon feeling down, 
I ride to the ancient burial ground. 
Sunset is always wonderful. 
Alas it's too close to nightfall.
