The Book of Poetry: Book V. The Odes of Wei: VII. Ho Kuang
The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
The Ho Kuang; narrative. Other things more difficult to overcome than distance may keep one from a place.
2They tell me that the Ho is wide;—
A little boat it will not bear.
They tell me Sung is distant far;—
Ere morning fades I might be there.
