Often
do I recollect the time I was amusing myself in a pavilion beside
the stream at sunset. Heavily drunk, I hardly knew which way to go
back. When, with flagging mood to stay, I turned my boat in the
stream homeward, I was misled into a place thick with lotus
flowers. People striving to be the first to ferry scared gulls and
egrets to hover over the beach.
