Poem from the book The Lotus Seed Nothing that grows in a pond Surpasses the beauty of the lotus flower, With its green leaves and silky yellow styles Amidst milky white petals. Though mired in mud, its silky yellow styles, Its milky white petals and green leaves Do not smell of mud. - Anonymous (by Vo danh; translation by Dinh D. Vu)

Poem from the bookThe Lotus Seed
Nothing that grows in a pond
Surpasses the beauty of the lotus flower,
With its green leaves and silky yellow styles
Amidst milky white petals.
Though mired in mud, its silky yellow styles,
Its milky white petals and green leaves
Do not smell of mud.
