Subject(s): Poetry & Poets


Little snows flit in the Valley of Li,
Making sad pictures when the lemon-colored crescent moon of the Seventh Dynasty

sails
So very quietly and stately to the West.

Lo Lo Ching will speak a soft sermon
To a litchi bush and ask
The Vast Dragoman that guides the night
If poets ever purl one phrase
Of consequence against the autumn dusk.
