PASSING T'IEN-MEN STREET IN CH'ANG-AN AND .. DISTANT VIEW OF CHUNG-NAN by PO CHU-YI

First Line: THE SNOW HAS GONE FROM CHUNG-NAN; SPRING IS ALMOST COME
Last Line: TURNS HIS HEAD AND LOOKS AT THE MOUNTAINS, -- NOT ONE MAN!
Subject(s): CHINA - TANG DYNASTY (618-905); MOUNTAINS; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN);
THE snow has gone from Chung-nan; spring is almost come.
Lovely in the distance its blue colours, against the brown of the streets.
A thousand coaches, ten thousand horsemen pass down the Nine Roads;
Turns his head and looks at the mountains, -- not one man!
