Slowly I moved about, In my heart all-agitated. Those who knew me said I was sad at heart. Those who did not know me, Said I was seeking for something. O thou distant and azure Heaven 2! By what man was this (brought about) 3?\n439:1 That is, there where the ancestral temple and other grand buildings of H\u00e2o had once stood.\n439:2 'He cried out to Heaven,' says Yen \u021chan, 'and told (his distress), but he calls it distant in its azure brightness, lamenting that his complaint was not heard.' This is, probably, the correct explanation of the language. The speaker would by it express his grief that the dynasty of K\u00e2u and its people were abandoned and uncared for by Heaven.\n439:3 Referring to king Y\u00fb, whose reckless course had led to the destruction of H\u00e2o by the Zung, and in a minor degree to his son, king Phing, who had subsequently removed to the eastern capital.","title":"SBE 3: Shi King: Lessons from the States: Book VI.
