Reading the Poetry Collection of Lü Fang-ch'ing
Just one hundred poems in this little book —
but in poetry, quantity is not quality.
Halfway through life, you still live in respectable poverty,
but at least you can work at your five-word lines.
The blandness of your style hides inner richness;
in the level places: suddenly, towering peaks!
Late at night, reading these by lamplight
a man drives off the demon of sleep.
but in poetry, quantity is not quality.
Halfway through life, you still live in respectable poverty,
but at least you can work at your five-word lines.
The blandness of your style hides inner richness;
in the level places: suddenly, towering peaks!
Late at night, reading these by lamplight
a man drives off the demon of sleep.
