Dragons by Tom Sharp

I don’t see the dragons that people say pull the sun up from the east and across the sky. If other mythical creatures haven’t been pulling the dragons then their strength must be boundless. And if that’s why things move, then what creatures pull grass from their seeds or pull tree leaves from their branches? We don’t see creatures pulling the sun or the winds because there aren’t any. These things happen on their own.

日出入行 by 李白 (Li Bai)

日出东方隈，似从地底来。 历天又入海，六龙所舍安在哉。 其始与终古不息，人非元气安得与之久裴徊。 草不谢荣于春风，木不怨落于秋天。 谁挥鞭策驱四运，万物兴歇皆自然。 羲和羲和，汝奚汩没于荒淫之波。 鲁阳何德，驻景挥戈。 逆道违天，矫诬实多。 吾将囊括大块，浩然与溟涬同科。
