Boating at Dusk by Song Ik-pil

Lost among flowers, the boat returns late;
expecting the moon, it drifts slowly down the shoals.
Though I’m drunk, I still drop a line:
the boat moves on, but not my dream.

translated by Kim Jong-gil

    • I only wish I had brought more Asian literature with me to Turkey. So much is still in storage in NY. Oh well, maybe if I move to a bigger place I can have more books shipped here. That is one of my plans anyway.
