Poems
Here is a poem that proves Zhu Bajie's consent to join Sanzang and Wukong in their journey to attain the scriptures:
- The Golden Vajra is stronger than Wood,
- The Mind Ape could bring the Wooden Dragon to submission.
- When Metal obeyed and Wood was tamed they were at one;
- When Wood was loving and Metal kind they worked together.
- One host and one guest with nothing to keep them apart,
- With the three in harmony they had a mysterious power.
- Nature and feelings both rejoiced as they joined in the Supreme Principle;
- They both promised without reservation to go to the West.

Famous quotes containing the word poems:
“After all, poets shouldn’t be their own interpreters and shouldn’t carefully dissect their poems into everyday prose; that would mean the end of being poets. Poets send their creations into the world, it is up to the reader, the aesthetician, and the critic to determine what they wanted to say with their creations.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“No poems can please for long or live that are written by water-drinkers.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“There’s a wonderful family called Stein:
There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.
Gert’s poems are bunk,
Ep’s statues are junk,
And no-one can understand Ein.”
—Anonymous.
