..............................................................BACK COVER By QUO Ying Sheng 郭英聲
We bear the weight
Of the long flow of time, flowing
Amid the reeds and pebbles
With an articulating Chu Yuan
And a dignified Du Fu
We are lakes
Bearing the weight of the trickle
From the Middle Earth
Over a thousand years. Even the
Western wind or sudden burst of rain
Of Baudelaire of Eliot
Cannot discolor
Our waters
We are mountain lakes
And must ripple
Toward history
