A POEM GIVEN TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ENCOUNTERED ON A FIELD-PATH
BY LI T'AI-PO
The magnificent horse, galloping swiftly, tramples the fallen flower.
Down comes the riding-whip, straight down—it strikes the Five Cloud Cart.
The young person who lifts the pearl door-screen is very beautiful. Moreover, she smiles.
She points to a Red Building in the distance—it is the home of the Flower Maiden.
