The Bath of Fire
- by Yu Kwangzhong (1928-2017)
- Translated by Frank C Yue
In the hot, hot East
There is a Phoenix that came from the fire
And returning to the fire will ne'er cease.
A fiery footprint, each step of the Phoenix,
In red-hot flames dancing;
All the Crows are burnt to death, but not this one,
O the young Phoenix -
A feathery ray of the Sun
Arising, in Eternity pulsating.
