His Dream of the Sky-Land
I leave you and go — when shall I return?
Let the white roe feed at will among the green crags,
Let me ride and visit the lovely mountains!
How can I stoop obsequiously and serve the mighty
ones! It stifles my soul.
��In this poem the poet describes his dream of visiting Mt. Tien-mu, "Fostermother of the shies" in Chehkiang. The other mountains, Chi-Cheng, the "Scarlet Castle," and Tien-tai, the "Terrace of Heaven" are located in the same province.
Prince Hsieh is the one poet-governor mentioned in 35.
