In the lonely solitude of the City of Hsün Yang.
The bird's song is certainly the same,
The change is in the emotions of the man.
If I could only stop thinking that I am at the ends of the earth,
I wonder, would it be so different from the Palace after all?
THE CITY OF STONES. (NANKING)
BY LIU YÜ-HSI
Hills surround the ancient kingdom; they never change.
