It was an account / of the Stone's rejection for repairing heaven,
its transformation and conveyance to the world of men // by the Buddhist of Infinite Space / and the Taoist of Boundless Time, // and the joys and sorrows,/ partings and encounters,/ warm and cold treatment from others// it had experienced there.
