Excerpt from The Never-Ending Wrong: And Other Renderings of the Chinese From the Prose Translations of Professor Herbert A. Giles, Author of "the History of Chinese Literature" Etc May it please your Excellency "Though the white gem be cast into the dirt, its purity cannot be lastingly sullied. As the fir and cypress withstand the rigours of the winter, so resplendent wisdom is safe in situations of difficulty and danger." The purity of Your Excellency's prose will remain undimmed when this poor setting of rhyme is crumbled about its facets and only the lustres of the gems remain.
