| A Look at Li Bai's Poem: "Third Eye Mountain Ascended In a Dream" [11.06.2003] |
Li Bai is known as the Poet Immortal. The poem quoted is among his most well known and most important masterpiece. It is a pearl in the crown of Chinese traditional poetry. Anyone interested in Li Bai’s poems must read this one. For it is full of mysterious, wonderful scenes and exquisite images. The last sentence which is peerless and the most well known, “how can I gravely bow and scrape to men of high rank and men of high office who never will suffer being shown an honest-hearted face” has been recited for centuries. |

And together we can bring back justice. |

Lotuses in each palm
The dancing beauties perform |
