"Born i am a natural genie,
as monkey i lived in mountain grove,
my house a cave behind a waterfall,
asking all how best to find the life eternal,
i praticed many arts to be immortal,
i learnt all magic without limit.
and hating the one span of human life,
i fixed my heart on joining gods divine,
the halls of heaven were not full at first,
from age to age the saints of earth ascend.
if they succeded, why not also i?
a hero who wins the race."
from Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West, the monkey king's amazing adventures, china's most famous traditional novel.
just reading that book, so much in love with it.....
