TIBETAN PILGRIM
On the right, a mountain with juniper trees--at its foot a
farmhouse
topped with white prayer flags--is like a
minister on a tigerskin seat.
On the left, a mountain covered with tamarisk trees--at its
foot a
farm filled with beautiful green wheat and
barley--is like a queen
on a silken throne.
Straight ahead, a rocky mountain rises above a monastery
with
glittering gold roofs like a king on a throne
of gold.
An old pilgrim feasts his eyes on the richness of some
merchant's
camp, and patiently continues towards Lhasa.
10 November 1972
