MOTION, by SSU-K'UNG T'U Poet's Biography First Line: Like a water-wheel awhirl Last Line: Behold the key that fits my theme. Alternate Author Name(s): Piao-sheng | ||||||||
Like a water-wheel awhirl, Like the rolling of a pearl; Yet these but illustrate, To fools, the final state. The earth's great axis spinning on, The never-resting pole of sky -- Let us resolve their Whence and Why, And blend with all things into One; Beyond the bounds of thought and dream, Circling the vasty void as spheres Whose orbits round a thousand years: Behold the Key that fits my theme. | Other Poems of Interest...DIRGE FOR A SOLDIER [SEPTEMBER 1, 1862] by GEORGE HENRY BOKER OF A FAIR LADY PLAYING WITH A SNAKE by EDMUND WALLER FESSEDEN'S GARDEN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN SUNSET ON THE ORANGE MOUNTAINS by ADRIAN BERKOWITZ UNCHANGING by FRIEDRICH MARTIN VON BODENSTEDT ULTIMATION by MAGDELEN EDEN BOYLE THE FOURE MONARCHIES: ASSYRIAN.
