Male Phoenix Pleads With Female Pho
|
 |
This male phoenix has returned to his old home, from roaming the four seas searching for his mate. Time was not yet ripe, there was no way to meet her; then what a surprise: this evening I come up to this hall, and there's a dazzling maiden in the women's quarters. The room near but she far: this poisons my guts. How can we entwine our necks like mandarin ducks? How can we flutter about, and together soar?
