Needs a proper modern translation. About 4/10ths of it is good, the rest seems like filler. Excellent narration if you can get past the repetition and some of the jarring bits of prose poetry.

It is my own reflected.

besides, you'd be smashed with peaches. ambrosia is a greek thing. peaches are the chinese thing.
