Poem No. 46

有一軍人身帶弓　只言我是白頭翁

東邊門裡伏金劍　勇士後門入帝宮

There is a soldier carrying a bow,

A voice says, I’m just an old, white-haired man.

A golden sword is hidden in the east gate.

A warrior enters the palace through the back door.

—From “Tui Bei Tu” 推背图, a collection of prophecies from 7th century China.
