Castles and churches,
bridges and fountains
The river with two mouths
very good news, if true;
Not nearly so light; not
nearly so shining:
Not nearly so going round and
round.
It seems a lapse due to
an interruption and,
Returning to the
wilderness shadowed by malice, delights.
I could form no clear
conception of the whole matter.
Zhou-gong (Ji-dan), he
thought of the horror and the silences
In the city-palace; or in
homes of fever or death
Outside the walls of the
city within the city,
But chosen by a different
heaven. This slow negative,
This moral magick. Sign of
good luck in the old country
This dark diagram of a slice
of the golden city;
Against the luminous navy
sky split with white light.
