The Journey TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text Shun<br><br>Why do you speak of death, Wong Fe?<br><br>Wong Fe<br><br>Because I am so happy. The sages say that we can have no fairer fortune than to die in our happiest moment.<br><br>Shun<br><br>Do not speak of death. The word blisters the air, though your lips be as two drops of June rain.<br><br>Wong Fe<br><br>But how sweet to die when I am fairest in your eyes! Every year, at this time, you would walk down the peach-flower lanes and recall the glow of my cheek. Oh, Heaven, let me not be a faded wife in the blooming time of the year!<br><br>Shun<br><br>Thy soul, Wong Fe, is the flower of my worship.<br><br>Wong Fe<br><br>And death would give my soul wholly to you. I should be near you always. Then morning would not call you to the peaks, leaving me behind in the tear-dew.<br><br>Shun<br><br>To-morrow we shall go together. Your shadow will be with mine on the rocks, and under the fir-trees we shall forget the valley.<br><br>Wong Fe<br><br>And the world? Oh, my lord, there are distances farther than the peaks of Siang, and they will call you from me. It cannot be that you who have known all lands will be content with one. I would see the strange people you have made your brothers, would listen to their dreams, and read the future with their hearts. There are dangers you would not let my body share--I do not ask that--but my soul, you could forbid it nothing.<br><br> COMMENTS: Visual Text CANDIDATE FOR ADAPTATION?: --- not set --- Not reviewed Promising Unlikely SOURCE MATERIAL: Fable Novella Play Plot summary Short Story -- Parent -- GENRE: Comedy Comic Horror Detective Drama Fable Fairy Tale Fantasy Folklore Folktale Ghost Story Melodrama Mystery Myth Operetta Other Romance Suspense Young Audiences -- Parent -- SETTING: Africa America England Europe Fantasy International New Zealand Pastoral Rural Rustic Science Fiction -- Parent -- LENGTH FOR ADAPTATION: 10 Minutes 15 Minutes 30 Minutes 45 Minutes 60 Minutes 90 Minutes Two Hours -- Parent -- URL FOR PDF DOCUMENT: TheJourney.pdf
