FAREWELL TO VICE-PREFECT TU
SETTING OUT FOR HIS OFFICIAL POST IN SHU
By this wall that surrounds the three Ch'in districts,Through a mist that makes five rivers one,We bid each other a sad farewell,We two officials going opposite ways. . . .And yet, while China holds our friendship,And heaven remains our neighbourhood,Why should you linger at the fork of the road,Wiping your eyes like a heart-broken child?
