East Stygia on two occasions has seen the dust fly,
And since a myriad years ago such interviews have been rare;
Now a hundred ports of wine, and the pear blossoms on a
thousand trees,
Unite these lords in argument and drink -- but no one will discuss
poetry.
Blue Lad transmits the word, reguiring them to come back:
His reports tells that Miss Hemp's "jade stamens" have opened.
The Watcher Sea has turned to dust -- all other affairs may be
disregarded:
They mount dragon and crane and come to observe the flowers.
--Taoist Ts'ao Tang/9AD
Cheers!

A splendid royal robe of an imperishable aura seems to light on this
"poor fella" :-):
The wind grows cool on Wedding Seas --aqueous images rise high:
An Exalted steward reguires the tailoring of a Red Frost Caftan.
Kraken silk and threads of jade are hard to cut to pattern;
They need to borrow golden knives and shears from the Jade Consort.
--Ts'ao Tang
