Du Fu
712 - 770 / Henan Province / China
The Eight Formations
LIKE THIS POEM
Your achievements overshadowed
any in the Three Kingdoms;
most famous of all was your design
for the Eight Formations.
Against the river’s surge,
they stand solid, immovable,
a monument to your lasting regret
at failing to swallow up Wu.
