Watch the sea

About this image

I tried to restore the scence of the famous ancient poem by Caocao,the first leader of the Wei dynasty of Three Kingdoms era.He was one of greatest generals,politician and poets in ancient China.However,he didn't reunited all the kingdoms in his life time after failed the famous battle in CHIBI,Hubei Province,China.This poem expressed a spirit of a hero who want to unite the land and build his empire(though he was not successfull like Talos~~~).

One of an EN edition of the poem I found is here:

The Sea

I come to view the boundless ocean
From Stony Hill on eastern shore.
Its water rolls in rhythmic motion,
And islands stand amid its roar.
Tree on tree grows from peak to peak;
Grass on grass looks lush far and nigh.
The autumn wind blows drear and bleak;
The monstrous billows surge up high.
The sun by day, the moon by night
Appear to rise up from the deep.
The Milky Way with stars so bright
Sinks down into the sea in sleep.
How happy I feel at this sight!
I croon this poem in delight.
