A TRAVELLER came from across the seas Telling of strange sights. "In a deep fold of the sea-hills I saw a terrace and tower. In the midst there stood a Fairy Temple With one niche empty. They all told me this was waiting For Lo-t'ien to come." Traveller, I have studied the Empty Gate; I am no disciple of Fairies. The story you have just told Is nothing but an idle tale. The hills of ocean shall never be Lo-t'ien's home. When I leave the earth it will be to go To the Heaven of Bliss Fulfilled. |
