At Guilin

Ho Chi Minh 1890-1969 Guilin has no laurel trees         and no forests, I see only tall mountains         and deep rivers. Banyans darken the prison         truely frightening! Days are black         nights are endless.

Notes: It does make a difference to one's response to nature! Whether you are going to Guilin on a vaction, or, as was the case with Ho Chi Minh, in shackles going to jail.
