The poems that appeared in Da Feng's quote from the night watchman included a poem from "Little Mei in the Mountain Garden":"The fragrance of the crowd is swaying and falling, and it is beautiful alone.

Okay, may I ask which classic poems and verses do you want to extract?

Yes. A poem can be a short story. Some poems, like narrative poems, tell a complete story within their verses. For example, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a long poem that tells a complex and engaging story of a mariner's journey and his encounters. It has characters, a plot with a beginning, middle, and end, just like a short story. The only difference might be the form and the use of more condensed language which is characteristic of poetry.
