Witty Chinese Couplet
-Translated by Frank C Yue
The Tower-for-River-Gazing,
Gazing at the river flowing;
On the Tower-for-River-Gazing
Gazing at the river flowing -
The river tower's been here forever,
The Great River's stopp'd flowing never.
The Well-of-the-Moon-Reflecting,
Beneath the Moon shadows casting;
In the Well-of-the-Moon-Reflecting
Shadows the Moon a-casting -
Ageless the Reflected-Moon-Well
Where the ageless Moon shadows dwell.
