The Gorge of Virtuous Women
The river curves, the gorge narrows, spring current is wild,
thunder and wind battle and scare off fish and dragons.
A suspended torrent whoosh! plunges into a water palace,
rushing down thirty miles like rolling clouds.
A floating boat hits a rock and shatters into thousands like a
smashed tile.
An inch or foot amiss, and life will drift off light as a feather.
