Gathering sweet wormwood Tom Sharp

Poor and humbly dressed, I make my way through marshes to gather sweet wormwood. The extracts of the plant are antimalarial and can treat a fever. I gather it for dukes and marquises and take it to the palace where I can’t be seen.

采蘩 诗经

于以采蘩，于沼于沚。 于以用之，公侯之事。 于以采蘩，于涧之中。 于以用之，公侯之宫。 被之僮僮，夙夜在公。 被之祁祁，薄言还归。
