Poems
Farm House
Gao Qi ( Ming Dynasty )
I heard Sound of spinning wheel
Mingled with sound of flowing water
Sight of wooden bridge,
flowerless trees in hazy spring
Where from the aroma the breeze brought so close ?
Ah, next neighbor is baking afternoon tea !

There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.

And no-one can understand Ein.”
—Anonymous.
“Some poems are for holidays only. They are polished and sweet, but it is the sweetness of sugar, and not such as toil gives to sour bread. The breath with which the poet utters his verse must be that by which he lives.”
