Autumn night on the river; ripples sleep.
No fish want my bait;
Only moonlight--
The boat returns empty.
- translated from a poem by the 15th-century Wolsan Taegun, for whom Toksugung, a palace in downtown Seoul, Korea, was built. He was twice passed over for the throne on the grounds that he was insane.
- Stephen K. Roney
