Alexander, your solution may be convincing to the exclusion of all else, but right now it seems to me that Allen and Ralph have a valid alternative. And it is in the poem: the translator sees a representation of the moon, not the moon itself. “Four” is another answer suggested by the poem, but that’s too easy, so as usual I’m at a loss.
