Liu Changqing Climbing in Autumn for a View from the Temple on the Terrace of General Wu

Liu Changqing Climbing in Autumn for a View from the Temple on the Terrace of General Wu

So autumn breaks my homesick heart....
Few pilgrims venture climbing to a temple so wild,
Up from the lake, in the mountain clouds.
...Sunset clings in the old defences,
A stone gong shivers through the empty woods.
...Of the Southern Dynasty, what remains?
Nothing but the great River.
