《 憶江郎》
杏壇驚逝正嚴冬
江郎魂盡倍悲空
遙想當年聽暮皷
它朝何處覓晨鐘
《 Mourning Master Kong》
The Academy was froze in bitter cold
In stunned disbelief with what we’re told
Unforgotten were his diction and cadence
Where can his glitter we again behold

[It is almost the tenth anniversary of Mr. Kong’s passing.
I wrote the attached poem on the morning when I first heard about the sad news.]
