“I never think of earthquakes destroying my art studio where there is
        unparallelly splendid brightness...
        My lord, please take the throne where guiding the country begins.
        Here is freedom; here is beauty. Here is nobility;
        Let me paint for you a thousand kinds of grace and charm;
        From the past, the future, to the present, it is the elegant demeanour
        collaborated by me and God.”
