About This Quote
The quote, “You may have the dark and cold street life, ruled by the lessor light of the moon. During this time I restore my temple, and later awake to greet the awesome radiance of the sun-star,” is a poem that was written by an ancient Chinaman. The poet is telling us that he was living in China during the reign of the first emperor of China. Sounding depressed, he describes to us how life was at that time.
The years passed, however, and one day he awoke to see the awesome radiance of the sun-star. The sun-star lit up his world with its vibrant beauty.
