23、此人一一为具言，所闻皆叹惋。余人各赴延至其家，皆出酒食。停数日，辞去。此中人语云：“不足为外人道也。既出，得其船，便扶向路，处处志之。及郡下，诣太守说如此。太守即遣人随其往，寻向所志，遂迷不复得路。南阳刘子骥，高尚士也。闻之，欣然亲往，未果，寻病终。后遂无问津者。ThePeachBlossomVisionaryLandDuringtheTai-yuanyearsofthedynastyJin,afishermanfromthecountyofWulingstrolledonthebankofastream,forgettingthedistanceofhistrack,intoagroveof
