Synopsis
A famous poem by Li Bai describing the magnificent waterfall at Mount Lu.
The Poem
Sunlight on Incense Burner Peak generates purple smoke,
From afar the waterfall hangs like a river.
The flying stream plunges down three thousand feet,
One suspects it is the Silver River falling from the highest heaven.
Analysis
