White King City I left at dawn <br /> in the morning-glow of the clouds; <br />The thousand miles to Chiang-ling <br /> we sailed in a single day. <br />On either shore the gibbons' chatter <br /> sounded without pause <br />While my light boat skimmed past <br /> ten thousand sombre crags.<br /><br />Li Po<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leaving-white-king-city/
