The Mysterious East, Part II

A Poem on the Fish-Observing Terrace

by Su Shi



If you want to discuss similarities and differences in their minute detail,

Liver and gall-bladder then will seem as far apart as the states of Chu and Yue.

If you believe that 10,000 distinctions all converge in one principle,

Then, you can understand me, and I understand fish.
