Poem 41 : (Fran)
The horse travels the thousand li road,1
The ox tills the hundred mu field.2
The horse travels and the colt follows behind,
The ox tills and the calf lies down in the plain.

Poem 46 : (Kyrie)
The flowers are red and the yellow bees buzz,
The grass is green and the white horses neigh.
In the night mountain rain makes bamboo resonate,
In the Autumn grass insects enter their beds.
- Discussion Questions:
(Fran): I think I would prefer the translation of the third line as: "At night the mountain rain gives voice to the bamboo." I think this captures the connotation of 鳴 as a cry or something vocalized. Also the phrase in the fourth line "enter their beds" makes it sound like its the insects' beds rather than people's beds. So perhaps eliminate "their" and simply say "insects enter the bedchamber"? Maybe "bedchamber" is going too far, but I think it makes it clear that this is a human dwelling.
