Sir Ares, Goodnight!
Rose was reciting Yi Shu’s prose poem, ‘To Oak Tree’.
“If I ever love you,
“I’ll never be like the scrambling trumpet creepers, showing off by your branch high up in the sky;
“I must be a ceiba near you, standing beside you as a tree.
“Our roots, holding the earth tightly; our leaves touching each other in the clouds. With each passing wind, we send our regards to each other, but nobody can understand our language. You have your tough branches made of copper and iron, like falchions, like swords, and also like halberds.
