Du Fu, Tang Dynasty
The famed Lady Gongsun with a sword dance
That once set the world astir.
Crowds fell silent, skies would part,
As she danced with storm and heart.
Swift as arrows that shot down nine suns,
Graceful as dragons bearing celestial ones.
She struck like thunder gathering its might,
Then stilled like seas beneath moonlight.
