Gargoyle and Griffin Turned to Stone in Bazaar Satire
The poem narrates a whimsical tale where a Gargoyle and a Griffin seek Confucius near a temple then chase him to a bustling bazaar. They glimpse a stone-heroine Gorgon playing the organ, grow envious, and are ultimately turned to granite while the Gorgon continues to perform. Confucius flees, lamenting his vanished appetite. Public domain verse from Laura E. Richards.
