Prelude of Nightingale Singing
The Ruins at Night
By William He
Selene is illuminating the pear blossoms,
Bennu whispering of waves and rays.
Under the silent skies,
Ducks are walking on mud,
Stars have floated in the water by now.
Yesterday's memories,Wild cryptic languages, As if everything into unprecedented faith.
Leaving the five senses behind,
Moving towards another dimension then.
Mask with protruding eyeballs,
The scepter topped by an angel,
As entering into realms of another sphere.
On the top of head,
A unique figurine holds a wine vessel,
Not sharing cryptogram yet with anyone else.
Precious and conundrum,
Monetaria annulus and tiger cowrie,
The cosmos spirit need,
Offering sacrifices to of broad sense pit.
They find their ways,
Perpetuating the subconsciousness,
Wandering through miles of views.
This best-absolute being tree,
Suffusing with brilliance in gloom,
There are the steps ascended heaven here.
Dragon has blade-like feather wings,
Tree branches with an upward exposure,
Bird tail string connected to tree trunk,
They are stirring life from all this despair,
Communicating person's absolute esse.
The bronze signed portrait,
With contemplative insight,
As the celestial spirits come down to earth,
Might of god endless,
Symbol of power by divine right.
Eagle tightly to hang up a beak,
Copper head of the ceremonial mask,
Gold noodles emissary of person's eye.
Resolute mercy circles the Helios,
The nightfall has gentle sermons,
There are too many pieces of our daily puzzles.
The torrents are raging,
By thousands of years' weathering,
Dashing waterfalls rocking the valleys,
Between absolute being and person,
Searching for the relics of the mind.
Life outlasts just moments in time,
Along a shining Line of demarcation,
The old days have been cut and pasted far too often,
From this world in a mess,
Bronze ears listening to the mumbled roar.
Sincerity and truth are not exploding today,
Satisfying qualms with relief of faith,
Antique turns around with a stiff smile.
莺啼序
夜来三星堆
作者：何威廉
梨花弄姿素影，
渐苍鸾含睇。
万籁静、
鸭慢平堤，
望水月共萦萃。
余韵袅、
骑鲸胄裔，
初疑洞府搴丹桂。
料古今凝盼，
眼前玄黄经纬。
纵目铜青，
炫金权杖，
念坤珍阐瑞。
顶尊像、
眸绿侏儒，
河图埋没缕细。
斐然殊、
环纹虎点，
申严祀、
歆兹缭祭。
与谁同，
千载寂寥，
玄微冥会。
通天神树，
金阙四更，
重叠降瑶贝。
若接翅、
虬枝蟠曲，
飞鸟翔前，
羽振翩跹，
化机祚替。
登仪执掌，
神情笃信，
旗常星月严环卫，
看立人、
引臂怜神骥。
金乌鼓翼，
黄金叶饰妆光，
兽面气浮眉际。
玉台灵秀，
迦逅良霄，
想五千年事。
蜀川沸，
混天移地，
变谷高陵，
讴颂神禹，
巴曲堪比。
云骖半景，
璇玑谐序，
辉光什伯殷周夏，
又何时、
岷水蚕丛惴。
风声似在叮咛，
六像踌躇，
倒流年岁。
Notes:
"Ruins": The Sanxingdui Ruins, dubbed as one of the greatest archeological finds in the 20th century, are believed to be the remnants of the Shu Kingdom dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years.
"Selene": As the goddess of the moon, Selene was responsible for controlling the movement of the moon across the sky during the night. She shone magnificent silvery light down on the Earth as she travelled in her chariot pulled by snowy white horses. She had the power to give the mortals sleep, to light up the night and control time.
"Bennu": The Bennu Bird was a sacred animal from Ancient Egypt that had associations with the gods of creation, Ra and Atum. The Bennu Bird was said to have created itself at the dawn of creation. It was worshipped in the city of Heliopolis, where the most important deities of Ancient Egypt were worshipped.
"Protruding eyeballs": The artifacts excavated at Sanxingdui differ strikingly from figures found in other parts of China. One famous mask, dubbed "Human face with protruding eyes," features cylindrical "eyes" protruding from the sockets; the ears flair out like wings. Artifacts on display at the Sanxingdui Museum.
"The best-absolute being tree": The bronze heavenly tree. It has a main body and base. It resembles a great tree, rising from the top of a three-sided mountain. At three levels on the trunk, three branches emerge, each bearing three fruit. Nine of these fruit point upward, each with a bird standing on it. Experts believe it reflects the ancient Shu people's worship of the solar deity.
"Ceremonial mask": Weighing about 280 grams (0.6 pounds) and estimated to be made from 84% gold, the ceremonial mask is one of over 500 items unearthed from six newly discovered "sacrificial pits," according to China National Cultural Heritage Administration.
"Shining Line": Shining Line is the name of an international Album-oriented rock project born from a collaboration between the Italian musicians Pierpaolo Monti and Amos Monti. They have worked with legendary producer Alessandro Del Vecchio, as well as Italian guitar players Marco "Dandy" D'Andrea and Mario Percudani.
"This world in a mess": Lyrics written by Donna Hightower. Hightower as an American R&B, soul and jazz singer and songwriter, who recorded and released albums for the Decca and Capitol labels. Later in her career she was based in Europe, where she had a hit in 1972 with "This World Today is a Mess."
