The Temple Of Zhuge Liang

Zhu-ge's great name
  hangs over the whole world;
the revered statesman's portrait
  awes with its sublimity.
The empire carved into thirds
  hindered his designs,
yet he soars through the ages,
  a lone feather in the sky.
He is brother to such greats
  as Yi Yin and Lu Shang;*
if he had established control,
  Xiao and Cao would be forgotten.
But the cycle had passed; Han fortunes
  could not be restored.
His military strategy a failure,
  his hopes dashed, his body perished.
