View this email on a browser Forward to a friend January 22, 2017   After Ch'u Yuan   Ezra Pound

I will get me to the wood Where the gods walk garlanded in wisteria, By the silver-blue flood move others with ivory cars. There come forth many maidens                 to gather grapes for the leopards, my friend. For there are leopards drawing the cars.   I will walk in the glade, I will come out of the new thicket                 and accost the procession of maidens.            This poem is in the public domain.
