History & Politics
After the Day of No Fire
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
History & Politics
Petals of spring fly all through the city
From the wind in the willows of the Imperial River.
And at dusk, from the palace, candles are given out
To light first the mansions of the Five Great Lords.
