She weaves and ends no pattern to day
Milky way girl
and the heavy ox pulls and pulls
to the end of the day no pattern
Via lactea clear and shallow
far from each other
one wide river to cross
--Anonymous Han dynasty poet, translated by Ezra Pound
Whoever writes one good poem is immortal
She weaves and ends no pattern to day
Milky way girl
and the heavy ox pulls and pulls
to the end of the day no pattern
Via lactea clear and shallow
far from each other
one wide river to cross
--Anonymous Han dynasty poet, translated by Ezra Pound
