When Ch‘ü Yüan had been exiled from the Court for nine years, he became so despondent that he feared his soul would part from his body and he would die. It was then that he made the poem called "The Great Summons," calling upon his soul not to leave him. Green Spring receiveth     The vacant earth;     The white sun shineth;     Spring wind provoketh     To burst and burgeon     Each sprout and flower.
