King Of Yue Garrison Mountain
The King of Yue Garrison Mountain
is traversed by a highway, all eight lanes.
The King of Yue looks at Xiang Lake,
and thinks rippled waters are his army;
he thinks the rarified mists of the dawn
are the great spirits of his ancestors;
he thinks the strong stems of the water plants
are staunch swords held by his noble soldiers;
Wind, water; wind, water, feng, shui; feng, shui;
what are the rights of the natural world?
Do they waves have heart, and the lake a soul?
Or compulsive winds seek revenge?
Xiang Lake is no warrior terra-cotta,
and will not sleep-guard the King of Yue!
