The "Ho Kuang;" narrative. Other things more difficult to overcome than distance may keep one from a place.
1They tell me that the Ho is wide;--
With a few reeds I could cross through.
They tell me Sung is distant far;--
Rising on tiptoe Sung I view. p. 71
2They tell me that the Ho is wide;--
A little boat it will not bear.
They tell me Sung is distant far;--
Ere morning fades I might be there.
