Chinese Poetry
I am still gaining great solace from Chinese poetry. I have the owner of the WordPress blog: sillyoldtwit to thank for that very kind act of lending me his book on Chinese poems by Arthur Waley. Here is an absolutely minimalist poem if ever there was one:Self-Abandonment, by Li Po
I sat drinking and did not notice the dusk,
Till falling petals filled the folds of my dress.
Drunken I rose and walked to the moonlit stream;
The birds were gone, and men also few.
In the next post I will include some photographs I took last weekend while cycling and walking along Irishtown Nature Reserve which is adjacent to Sandymount in South Dublin. I hope all my readers will enjoy these beautiful, sunny evening pictures!
