| + | This is a tale buried in history:\\ | ||
| + | One day, a student elated in victory,\\ | ||
| + | Dashed around the Grove' | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | The youth with white hair was beside himself in joy,\\ | ||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | |||
| + | That spell was rare indeed, for it was —\\ | ||
| + | A secret way to overturn a cart of hay. | ||
| ---- | ---- | ||
| ==== 2-2 ==== | ==== 2-2 ==== | ||
| + | The scholar was still a mortal body,\\ | ||
| + | As yet to snatch life from death,\\ | ||
| + | Or to reforge a new flesh through a god's remedy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Various minute tricks and parody,\\ | ||
| + | He studied them all, crafting schemes, oh so busy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For everyone knows —\\ | ||
| + | He wishes not to use the divine power that is his, refusing rightful custody. | ||
| + | |||
| + | And in that unwitnessed moment of his death, final tragedy,\\ | ||
| + | He still held the hay cart spell steady,\\ | ||
| + | Standing alone, facing the evil enemy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, that craft is regarded as a magnificent study,\\ | ||
| + | Not because of what it was,\\ | ||
| + | But because of its purpose, known to everybody. | ||

| + | In fact, he once crafted " | ||
| + | Forging silent servants, using soil as a vehicle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Though no sentience, they do their job without obstacles, | ||
| + | Rivaling Titankin in spectacle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, one day he suddenly changes his tune — | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | And slavery is the Titans' | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | There' | ||
| + | |||
| + | When the servants have all been recycled,\\ | ||
| + | He deigns not to explain,\\ | ||
| + | Fearing to waste his reason or muscle,\\ | ||
| + | So he jokingly concludes the questioning with a chuckle — | ||

| ==== 2-4 ==== | ==== 2-4 ==== | ||
| + | The way he addresses himself comes from elsewhere, | ||
| + | An imitation of a divine machine, with some flair. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He happily answers "five questions" | ||
| + | Knowledge seemingly given with stingy care. | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | Five answers reveal creation' | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||

| + | That is in fact the scholar' | ||
| + | |||
| + | He hides the answer he seeks behind questions posed by those unaware,\\ | ||
| + | Doling breadcrumbs as bait to lure and compare,\\ | ||
| + | Whether the inquirer may be worthy of his wisdom to share. | ||
| ---- | ---- | ||
| ==== 2-5 ==== | ==== 2-5 ==== | ||
| + | The scholar never looks at laws and measurements, | ||
| + | Ignoring the flow and shift of time's passage,\\ | ||
| + | And uncomprehending students gossip in eager regiments. | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | The student' | ||
| + | |||
| + | //<color # | ||
| + | For his work is yet done, yet to implement."</ | ||

| + | And he intends to desecrate Oronyx' | ||
| + | The passing sage from another school brings admonishment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Outside the courtyard, the gossip flows into the scholar' | ||
| + | He silently gives a grade to every question and argument,\\ | ||
| + | But none know the true answer, according to his judgment. | ||
