I visited the temple beforeI stayed there again last nightsounds floated into space from a dark ravinefaint shadows danced in the moonlit woodsI gazed at the stars in a sliver of skyand shivered beneath my robeall night in the cloudsjust before dawn I heard the bellit made me think as I woke.Tu FuImage: ‘Evening bell at Mii Temple’.
