Chapter 23 twenty two
...Suddenly Adam
A flash in my mind: Don't miss this opportunity,
The good time bestowed by this meeting,
Come to understand the things and shapes of Penglai outside the world,
He saw them dwelling in heaven, noble
Far better than themselves, their splendid appearance
Divine brilliance and superb skills
ten thousand times stronger than a man; a word of caution
Thus he spoke subtly to the angel:
"...the time will come when,
People can be with angels without eating
Difficult to digest or too bland food:
Perhaps from these beneficial nutrients
Thy [Adam's] body shall turn all into spirit,
Gaining with time, winged and soaring,
Like us, free to choose,
Stay here or enter Paradise,
As long as you find out that you are obedient, you will be struck
Keeping all his love motionless,
You are his descendants.At this moment
The happiness contained in this fairyland
You can enjoy as much as you want, but you can't add to it. "
"...how can I
tell the secrets of another world, maybe
Disclosure illegal?But for your own good,
can be forgiven, anyone who understands
If not, I will describe it in this way.
Comparing the void to a solid shape,
This expresses them best, though the world
but a shadow of heaven, in which things
Similar to each other, more realistic than the world imagines! "
