Hiring a little empty shop.

He has five branches
Representing the five senses
Representing the jokes we did not tell each other

Elegy X
That some day, emerging at last from the terrifying vision
I may burst into jubilant praise to assenting angels!
That of the clear-struck keys of the heart not one may fail
to sound because of a loose, doubtful or broken string!

home of children animals and apples
a square of empty space
under an absent star

Land that he loved, thy noblest voice is mute.

No, like a drunkard's last half-dollar
Shoved on the polished bar of the eastern hill-range,

Went walking by his horses, the first time,
That morning, to the plough. No soldier gay
Feels at his side the throb of the gold hilt

Yuan Ch`ih, Lieutenant-Governor of K`uei-chou, I saw Li Shih-er-niang of Lin-ying dance the chien-ch`i.

Kung-sun'', was the reply.

I cannot your light, mazy footsteps attend;
Nor listen to accents, that almost adoring,
Bless Cynthia's face, the enthusiastâ??s friend:

And were less alter'd by the hand of Time;
But, the slim youth no longer met their view,
Fair, as the fancy e'er a seraph drew.

Shadows, or are they shallows, at its edges
showing the line of long sea-weeded ledges
where weeds hang to the simple blue from green.

Many feelings urged my breast,
For the God so keen desiring,
And the Nymph so deep distrest.

Maurine: Part 07
With much hard labour and some pleasure fraught,
The months rolled by me noiselessly, that taught
My hand to grow more skilful in its art,
Strengthened my daring dream of fame, and brought

On which the moonbeams shimmer,
Where reefs and unknown perils be
To wreck, yea, wreck one utterly,

the lights, the stars, and the bridges
I am also by self-appointment the laureate of the Atlantic

Emotion's varying beauties trace,

All night under blossom and star;
The wild swan is dying without it,
And the eagle crieth afar;

From the cradle to the grave,--

For no other damsel so wond'rous I see;
Thy looks are so pleasing, thy charms so amazing,
I think of no other, my true-love, but thee.

And rung as it passed through each murmuring shroud.

Of busy bridesmaids, running to and fro,

Most clearly managed matters at their ease.

On the beach, on the sand, in the sun,
With ocean galore within reach,
And nothing at all to be done!

To The Recluse, Wei Pa
Often in this life of ours we resemble, in our failure to meet, the Shen and
Shang constellations, one of which rises as the other one sets. What lucky
chance is it, then, that brings us together this evening under the light of
this same lamp? Youth and vigor last but a little time. --- Each of us now has

Linking curious fancies, modern, mediaeval, and antiqueâ??
Suddenly the sun descended, and a radiance ruby-splendid,
With the gleam of water blended, thrilled my sensitive physiqueâ??

Song Of Unending Sorrow.

Was on the throne for many years, searching, never finding,

Bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her,

The songs that I may not utter;
They lead me, they flatter, they woo me.
