INVITING GUESTS by CH'ENG-KUNG SUI

First Line: I SENT OUT INVITATIONS
Last Line: BY DISCHARGE OF EMOTION!
Subject(s): CHINA - MIDDLE AGES (600 B.C.- 618 A.D.); GUESTS; VISITING;
I SENT out invitations
To summon guests.
I collected together
All my friends.
Loud talk
And simple feasting:
Discussion of philosophy,
Investigation of subtleties.
Tongues loosened
And minds at one.
Hearts refreshed
By discharge of emotion!
