Camellia + Golden Gate Bridge

Mountain Tea (Camellia) by Lu You

Eastern garden, few days, wind twice as strong,
Peach and plum, fallen down, swept away empty.
Only camellia, in contrast, lasts long,
Green bushes, again blooms, several branches of red.


Golden Gate Bridge

Gold gate beautiful scenery, the best of California.
Steel cables cross the sky, spanning green waters.
Extending to cultivated fields, open up developments.
Connecting cities, pressing high rise buildings.
Hazy fog, smoke, and rain, trees on high mountains.
Relentless waves, wind, and waves, ships on far sea.
Million car dust, racing wheel tires,
At the head of the bridge, stand remarkable statues.
