Du Fu - Thoughts On An Ancient Site:Birthplace Of Wang QiangDu Fu - Thoughts On An Ancient Site:Birthplace Of Wang Qiang
Work rating: Low


Through flocks of mountains, myriad valleys,     I arrive in Jingmen, where Ming-fei was born and bred--*     the village is still there. Once she left the crimson terraces,     there was nothing but endless desert; only her evergreen grave is left     to face the twilight. Portraits have recorded     her spring-fresh face; the tinkle of girdle pendants heralds     her soul`s vain return by moonlight. For a thousand years the pipa     has wailed in its alien tongue, as if its strings bemoan in song     her tragic tale of grief.
